Interesting fact
The Louis II (Piedfort) 1514 silver denier coin from Hungary is interesting because it was issued during the reign of King Louis II, who was only 10 years old at the time. This coin was minted as a replacement for the previous currency, which had been devalued due to excessive minting. The coin's design features the king's name and title in Latin, as well as a depiction of him on horseback. Despite its age, this coin is still highly sought after by collectors today.
