One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Ferdinand II 1630-1638 from Hungary made of Billon (.438 silver) weighing 0.58 g is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Hungary. The country was facing political instability, economic struggles, and military conflicts, which led to the coin being minted with a lower silver content than previous issues. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a unique historical significance and is a valuable addition to any coin collection.
