Interesting fact
The John Zápolya 1530 Denier coin from Hungary is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in the country. John Zápolya was a Hungarian noble who was elected as the King of Hungary in 1525, but his reign was marked by conflict and political instability. Despite this, the coinage issued during his reign, including the Denier, remained consistent and continued to be used for many years after his death in 1540. This coin is a testament to the resilience and endurance of the Hungarian people during a tumultuous period in their history.
