Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Matthias II 1611-1613 from Hungary is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was introduced as part of a broader effort to reform the Hungarian currency and stabilize the economy, which had been struggling with inflation and debasement of the currency. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a deliberate choice to create a coin that was more durable and less prone to wear and tear than previous coins made of pure silver. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Denier - Matthias II 1611-1613 remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today, offering a unique glimpse into the economic and political history of early 17th-century Hungary.
