Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Béla IV of Hungary, who ruled from 1235 to 1270. Béla IV was a prominent figure in Hungarian history, known for his efforts to strengthen the kingdom and his role in the Battle of Mohi, where he defeated the Mongol invasion of Hungary in 1241. The coin's design, featuring the crown prince Béla, reflects the importance of the royal family during this time period.
