ABOUT 200 Sk 350. výročí korunovace Leopolda I. b.k.
In the first third of the 16th century, Hungary was threatened by the plundering raids of the Turks. After the tragic battle at Mohacs in 1526, the Turks were quickly advancing within the country. After the Turkish occupation of the capital Buda in 1536, the Hungarian Parliament decided that the new capital and coronation city of Hungary would become Pressburg (today's Bratislava). From 1563 to 1830, a total of 11 rulers and 8 royal wives were crowned in the Gothic St. Martin's Cathedral. The Archbishop of Esztergom, the supreme church dignitary of the country, assisted by other church and secular dignitaries, usually crowned the King.
Leopold I, son of Ferdinand III, barely 15 years old, was crowned in Pressburg on June 27, 1655 as the sixth of the Hungarian kings. During his long reign, which lasted till his death in 1705, the Turks were chased from Hungary, thus marking the definitive end of the dominion of Ottoman Empire.
