Comment
Lower quality "moneta nova" denár, minted in ZagrebInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Louis II 1524-1525 from Hungary made of Silver weighing 0.51 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Louis II, who was the last Jagiellonian king of Hungary and Bohemia. He was known for his efforts to centralize power and promote Catholicism in his kingdom, and this coin may have been minted as a way to promote his image and authority.
