Interesting fact

The Andrew II ND (1205-1235) Denier coin from Hungary, made of Silver and weighing 0.73g, features an unusual design on its obverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a king or royal symbol, it bears an image of a naked warrior, believed to represent the legendary Hungarian leader, Árpád. This unique design choice was likely intended to emphasize the coin's value and the power of the Hungarian kingdom during Andrew II's reign.
