Interesting fact

The John Zápolya 1530 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 "S" (representing the city of Székesfehérvár) on the other. This design was used during the reign of John Zápolya, who was the Voivode (Prince) of Transylvania and later became the King of Hungary. The coin's silver content and unique design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
