Comment
Same coin as shown below, except that the legend starts below the shield, instead of above it.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Ferdinand I 1562-1565 from Hungary made of Silver (.500) weighing 0.58 g is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand I, who was the first King of Hungary and Bohemia from the House of Habsburg. This coin was used as a means of payment during his reign and was widely accepted in trade and commerce. Despite being made of silver, the coin was relatively small in size and light in weight, making it easy to handle and transport. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of Hungary and the Habsburg dynasty.
