C.I.: 124Interesting 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 refers to the king's role as a protector of the Church. Despite being made of silver, the coin is relatively small and lightweight, weighing only 0.24 grams. This makes it a unique and interesting piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political systems of medieval Hungary.
