Comment
Unique, 1 piece knownInteresting fact
The Denier coin from Hungary, issued during the reign of Andrew I (1046-1060), was made of silver and had a unique feature - it was the first coin in Europe to bear the image of a king. This was a departure from the traditional practice of featuring religious symbols or motifs on coins, and marked a shift towards the use of secular imagery on currency.
