Interesting fact

The Andrew II Denier coin from Hungary, made of silver and weighing 0.87g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in Hungary. Andrew II, who ruled from 1205 to 1235, was the first king of Hungary to issue coins with his own name and title, which marked a shift towards greater independence from the Holy Roman Empire. This coin, with its unique design and silver content, is a tangible representation of that historical moment.
