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 base metals like copper or bronze. This change in material was likely due to the influx of silver from the nearby regions, which made it more accessible and affordable for the production of coins. The use of silver in coinage was also seen as a symbol of wealth and prosperity, reflecting the growing economic and political influence of Hungary during that time.
