Interesting fact
The Andrew III ND (1290-1301) Denier coin from Hungary was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the previous coinage of the time, which was made of copper or billon (a mixture of copper and silver). This change in material was likely due to the influx of silver from the nearby regions, which made it a more accessible and affordable option for coin production. The use of silver in the coinage of this period helped to establish Hungary as a major player in the regional economy and paved the way for the country's future economic growth.
