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 features an image of the king on one side and a cross on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant innovation at the time, as it was a more durable and valuable material than the copper coins that were previously used. This coin is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
