Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Matthias II 1614-1618 from Hungary made of Billon (.438 silver) weighing 0.58 g is that it was minted during the reign of Matthias II, who was the King of Hungary and Croatia from 1608 to 1618. This coin was used as a means of payment during his reign and was widely circulated throughout the kingdom. Despite its small size and relatively low value, it is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
