Interesting fact
The John Zápolya 1537-1538 Denier coin from Hungary is notable for its unique design, which features a crowned shield with the Hungarian coat of arms on one side, and a cross with the letter "I" (representing the king's name, John) on the other side. This design was used during Zápolya's reign as King of Hungary, and it symbolizes the country's strong Christian faith and royal heritage.
