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 country, which was made of base metals. 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 a common practice in medieval Europe, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was also associated with wealth and power. The fact that the Andrew III ND coin was made of silver speaks to the economic and political significance of Hungary during this time period.
