CP.:21Interesting fact
The Denier coin of Béla III (1172-1196) 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 the Denier coinage also signified a shift towards a more valuable and reliable currency, which was important for facilitating trade and commerce during that time.
