Double thick version of ÉH#456Interesting fact
The ¼ Denier - Sigismund (Piedfort) ND (1430-1437) coin from Hungary was minted during the reign of King Sigismund, who was the last king of the Luxembourg dynasty. The coin features an image of the king on one side and a shield with the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous copper coins that were commonly used at the time, and it marked a turning point in the history of Hungarian coinage.
