Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Ferdinand II 1623-1624 from Hungary made of Billon (.438 silver) weighing 0.58 g is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Hungary. The coin was minted during the reign of Ferdinand II, who was the King of Hungary and Bohemia from 1623 to 1624. This was a period of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) taking place, which had a significant impact on the Hungarian economy and society. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency during this time.
