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 ending in a bird's head. This unique design is believed to symbolize the four Gospels and the spread of Christianity.
