Interesting fact

The Andrew II Denier coin from Hungary, made of silver and weighing 0.76g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great turmoil in Hungary. Andrew II was the king of Hungary from 1205 to 1235, and his reign was marked by conflicts with the Mongols, who had invaded Hungary in the early 13th century. Despite these challenges, the coinage issued during Andrew II's reign was of high quality and has survived to this day as a testament to the craftsmanship of medieval Hungarian coin makers.
