C2-234Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Matthias Corvinus ND (1471-1481) from Hungary made of Silver is that it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin features a portrait of King Matthias Corvinus on one side and a depiction of the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. This design was a departure from the traditional designs used on coins during that period, which often featured religious symbols or images of rulers. The use of a portrait of the king and the coat of arms was a bold move that reflected the growing power and influence of the Hungarian monarchy during that time.
