Interesting fact

The Denier - Géza II ND (1141-1162) coin from Hungary was minted during the reign of King Géza II, who was a member of the Árpád dynasty, which ruled Hungary for over 400 years. This coin was used as a means of payment and exchange during that time, and its design features the king's name and title in Latin, as well as a cross and a legend that reads "KAROLVS DEI GRATIA REX HVNGARIE" (Charles, by the grace of God, king of Hungary). Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is a significant piece of Hungarian history and a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage.
