Interesting fact

The 1 Denier coin from Hungary, minted during the reign of Leopold I (1662-1663), was made of silver and weighed 0.46 grams. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, this coin was an important part of the Hungarian currency system at the time, and its design featured the coat of arms of the Habsburg Empire, which ruled over Hungary during that period.
