Interesting fact
The Pattern Denier - John Zápolya (Piedfort) 1529 is a rare and unique coin that was minted during the reign of John Zápolya, the King of Hungary. What makes this coin stand out is that it features a unique "piedfort" design, which means that it has a thicker and heavier rim than usual. This design was used to indicate that the coin was a sample or a pattern, and it was not meant to be circulated. As a result, very few of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
