Interesting fact
The Charles Robert ND (1333-1338) Denier coin from Hungary was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used for circulation coins at the time. This was due to a shortage of copper in Europe during the 14th century, which led to the use of alternative metals like silver and gold for some coinage. The use of silver in this coin not only made it more valuable but also helped to establish Hungary as a major player in the regional trade and economy.
