Similar to ÉH#222, but retrograd lettering.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Béla IV ND (1235-1270) from Hungary made of Silver is that it was issued during the reign of King Béla IV, who was forced to flee to the Holy Roman Empire after the Mongol invasion of Hungary in 1241. Despite this, he was able to regain his throne and rule until his death in 1270, during which time he worked to rebuild and strengthen the Hungarian kingdom. This coin, made of silver, was likely used in everyday transactions during this time and offers a glimpse into the economic and monetary systems of medieval Hungary.
