Interesting fact
The Andrew II denier coin from Hungary, which was minted between 1205 and 1235, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a king or a saint, the coin bears an image of a tree with four branches, each of which is adorned with three leaves. This unique design is believed to represent the four Gospels and the twelve Apostles, symbolizing the spread of Christianity throughout Hungary during the reign of King Andrew II.
