Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Béla IV ND (1235-1270) from Hungary made of Silver weighing 0.25 g is that it was issued during the reign of King Béla IV, who was a strong advocate for the use of silver coins as a medium of exchange. This coin, in particular, was used as a means of promoting trade and commerce within the kingdom and was widely accepted as a form of payment for goods and services. Its small weight and portable size made it an ideal coin for everyday transactions, and it remained in circulation for many years after its initial minting.
