Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern Denier - Andrew II (Klippe; pattern) ND (1205-1235) from Hungary made of Silver is that it features a unique design element known as a "klippe" or "clip," which is a small, tab-like projection that extends from the edge of the coin. This feature was used to help prevent the coin from being clipped or shaved, which was a common practice at the time to collect precious metal. The klippe also served as a way to distinguish the coin from other denominations and to make it easier to handle and count.
