Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Charles Robert ND (1308-1322) from Hungary made of Silver weighing 0.37 g is that it was minted during the reign of Charles Robert, who was the king of Hungary and Croatia from 1308 to 1342. This coin was used as a means of payment and exchange during his rule, and it features an image of the king on one side and a cross on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant innovation at the time, as it was a more durable and valuable material than the copper coins that were previously used.
