Interesting fact

The Andrew II ND (1205-1235) Denier coin from Hungary, made of Silver and weighing 0.69g, features an unusual design on its obverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a king or royal figure, it bears an image of the Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus. This unique design choice reflects the strong influence of Christianity during the reign of Andrew II and highlights the importance of religion in medieval Hungarian culture.
