Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Matthias II 1615-1619 from Hungary made of Billon (.438 silver) weighing 0.46 g is that it was minted during the reign of Matthias II, who was the King of Hungary and Croatia from 1608 to 1619. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, and it features an image of the king on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver.
