Interesting fact

The 1 Denier coin from Hungary, featuring Leopold I and made of silver, was minted during a time when the country was under Habsburg rule. The coin's design was actually influenced by the Austrian thaler, which was a popular currency in the region at the time. Despite being minted in Hungary, the coin's inscriptions are in Latin, reflecting the influence of the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church in the region.
