Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Amadeus Aba ND (1290-1310) from Hungary made of Silver weighing 0.33 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Charles Martel, who was a powerful king and military leader who ruled over a large part of Central Europe, including Hungary, during the 14th century. Despite being made of silver, this coin was not used as a means of payment or exchange, but rather as a token of loyalty and allegiance to the king. It is believed that the coin was minted in limited quantities and was only given to select nobles and loyal subjects of the king as a symbol of their loyalty and service. Today, this coin is highly sought after by collectors and historians due to its rarity and historical significance.
