Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Matthias Corvinus ND (1482-1490) from Hungary made of Silver weighing 0.52 g is that it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of King Matthias Corvinus, while the reverse side depicts the Hungarian coat of arms. This design was a departure from the standard design used on other coins of the time, which typically featured religious symbols or images of saints. The use of a portrait of the king and the national coat of arms on the coin was a bold move that reflected the growing power and influence of the Hungarian monarchy during this period.
