One interesting fact about the Denier - Matthias II (Piedfort) 1609 from Hungary is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Matthias II, who was the King of Hungary and Croatia from 1608 to 1619. This was a period of great political and social upheaval, with the country facing challenges from the Ottoman Empire and internal conflicts within the kingdom. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people during this time.
