Interesting fact
The 1 Denier coin from Hungary, featuring Leopold I, was made of silver, which was a common material for coins at that time. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it was issued during a time of great economic turmoil in Hungary. The country was facing severe inflation, and the value of the Denier coin had dropped significantly. Despite this, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in trade and commerce. This speaks to the resilience and adaptability of the Hungarian people during a time of economic hardship.
