Interesting fact
The Andrew II Denier coin from Hungary, made of silver and weighing 0.78g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. Andrew II was the King of Hungary from 1205 to 1235, and his reign saw the rise of the Mongol Empire, which had a significant impact on trade and commerce in the region. Despite these challenges, the coinage of Andrew II's reign remained consistent, with the Denier being a standard circulation coin that was widely used throughout Hungary and neighboring regions. This coin is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Hungarian people during a time of great turmoil.
