Interesting fact
The Andrew I Denier coin from Hungary, which was minted between 1046 and 1060, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a king or a saint, the coin bears an image of a naked warrior riding a horse. This design is believed to represent the Hungarian king's victory over the invading armies of the time. The coin's unique design and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
