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 two birds perched on its branches. This unique design has led some numismatists to speculate that the tree may represent the Tree of Life, a symbol of eternal life and rebirth that was popular in medieval Christian art.
