Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Ferdinand II 1625-1634 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 Billon alloy used in the coin was a common material used in coinage during this time period, as it was less expensive than pure silver or gold. Despite the economic challenges of the time, the Ferdinand II Denier coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout Hungary and the surrounding regions.
