Antiferromagnetic order is commonly pictured as magnetization projection arrows at the atomic positions in crystals. Here we show that the symmetry analysis arising from this picture is incomplete, and we need to consider the full ground-state magnetization density. We show that this magnetization density in magnets with low symmetry Wyckoff positions and low magnetic symmetry can generate large spontaneous Hall effect [1]. This mechanism revealed strong Hall conductivity from perfectly compensated collinear antiferromagnetism in a large class of spintronics promising materials previously anticipated to be prohibited from spontaneous Hall effect. We analyse the topological origin of the crystal Hall conductivity contributions in centrosymmetric RuO2 and chiral crystal CoNb3S6. Finally, we will discuss possible experimental discoveries of the effect and impact of the mechanism on other spintronics phenomena[2]. [1] L. Šmejkal, R. González-Hernández, T. Jungwirth, and J.
