Interesting fact
The 1 Denier coin from Hungary, minted during the reign of Leopold I (1662-1663), was made of silver, which was a rare and valuable metal at the time. In fact, silver coins were not commonly used in circulation until the 17th century, so this coin was ahead of its time in that regard. Additionally, the coin's design featured an image of Leopold I, which was a departure from the traditional designs of coins in Hungary, which typically featured the country's coat of arms. This coin is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item, and its unique design and historical significance make it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
