Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin from Hungary is that it features a unique design, with one side depicting King Béla IV, while the other side features the Hungarian coat of arms. This coin was minted during Béla IV's reign, which lasted from 1235 to 1270, and it was used as a means of payment throughout Hungary and other parts of Europe. Despite its small weight of 0.25 grams, the coin was valued for its silver content and played an important role in the economy of the time.
