Interesting fact
The John Zápolya 1527 Denier coin from Hungary is interesting because it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the country. John Zápolya was a Hungarian nobleman who was elected as the King of Hungary in 1525, but his reign was marked by conflict with the Ottoman Empire, which had invaded Hungary in the early 16th century. Despite these challenges, the coinage issued during Zápolya's reign, including the Denier, remained consistent in its design and quality, reflecting the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people during this difficult period.
