Interesting fact
The coin is a rare and historically significant piece, and here's an interesting fact about it: The Denier coin was minted during the reign of Károly Róbert ND (1309-1315) and features István Babonich Bán, a vassal of the king, on one side. What's fascinating is that this coin was minted in the Province of Slavonia, which is now part of modern-day Croatia, but was then a part of the Hungarian States. This coin is a tangible piece of history that highlights the complex political and cultural ties between different regions and empires in medieval Europe.
