Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Béla III ND (1172-1196) from Hungary made of Silver weighing 0.51 g is that it features a unique design, with the obverse side bearing the image of King Béla III, while the reverse side features a cross with four pelicans, symbolizing the four evangelists. This design was a departure from the typical designs found on coins of the time, which often featured religious symbols or images of saints. The use of a monarch's image on a coin was also a bold move, as it signified the growing power and influence of the Hungarian monarchy during this period.
