Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Louis II (Piedfort Klippe) 1523-1524 from Hungary made of Silver weighing 6.03 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Louis II of Hungary, who was also known as Louis II of Bohemia and Louis II of Croatia. He was a member of the Jagellonian dynasty and ruled from 1516 until his death in 1526. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Protestant Reformation and the Ottoman Empire's expansion posing significant challenges to the Catholic Church and the Hungarian kingdom. Despite these challenges, the coin's minting suggests that the Hungarian economy was still robust and that the kingdom was capable of producing high-quality currency.
