Interesting fact
The John Zápolya 1531 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 the reign of John Zápolya, who was the King of Hungary from 1525 to 1540. The coin's silver content and relatively low weight also make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
