Commentary
Marie-Thérèse s'était beaucoup appuyée sur les Hongrois pour asseoir son trône au début du règne entre 1740 et 1745. Elle avait donné de nombreux avantages à la noblesse hongroise en échange d'une aide militaire dans le cadre de la guerre de succession d'Autriche. L'impératrice resta très aimée de ses sujets hongrois jusqu'à sa mort en 1780.
Joseph II remit en question cette politique. Il abolit le servage en 1781, substitua l'allemand au latin comme langue officielle en 1784 et retira une partie des pouvoirs locaux aux comitats en 1785. À la fin de son règne, Joseph II dut abandonner cette politique face à la montée du danger turc.
Le jeton du comte de Palffy est en français et non pas en latin ou en allemand. Ce comte Palffy fut le chancelier de l'ordre le plus important de Hongrie.
Maria Theresa had relied heavily on the Hungarians to establish her throne at the beginning of her reign between 1740 and 1745. She had granted numerous benefits to the Hungarian nobility in exchange for military aid in the War of the Austrian Succession. The Empress remained highly regarded by her Hungarian subjects until her death in 1780. Joseph II questioned this policy. He abolished serfdom in 1781, substituted German for Latin as the official language in 1784, and withdrew some local powers from the counties in 1785. At the end of his reign, Joseph II had to abandon this policy in the face of the growing Turkish threat. The token of Count Palffy is in French, not Latin or German. This Count Palffy was the chancellor of the most important order in Hungary.
