Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - IV. Béla ND (1235-1270) from Province of Slavonia (Hungarian States) made of Silver weighing 0.78 g is that it was issued during the reign of King Béla IV of Hungary, who ruled from 1235 to 1270. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by the king to promote trade and commerce within the kingdom. The coin's design features the king's name and title on one side, and a cross on the other, which symbolizes the Christian faith of the kingdom. 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 a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the economic and political history of medieval Hungary.
