Interesting fact

The Charles Robert ND (1339-1342) 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 and bronze during the reign of Charles Robert, which led to the use of silver as a substitute. This coin is now highly sought after by collectors due to its rarity and historical significance.
