Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Ferdinand II 1619-1625 from Hungary made of Billon (.438 silver) weighing 0.56 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the coinage of many European countries, including Hungary. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this time period as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable to produce and circulate. This coin, minted during the reign of Ferdinand II, is a testament to the economic and political changes that were taking place in Europe during this time.
