Comment
C.II.:196Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ladislaus V ND (1451) Denier coin from Hungary is that it features a unique blend of metals, known as Billon, which was commonly used in coinage during the Middle Ages. Billon is an alloy of silver and copper, with a small amount of gold sometimes added. The use of Billon in coinage allowed for the creation of coins that were more durable and resistant to wear and tear than coins made of pure silver or copper. The Ladislaus V ND (1451) Denier coin, made of Billon and weighing 0.4 grams, is a prime example of this innovative metal blend.
