Denár Thick Strike of Denár H#1141, see below:Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Matthias II (Piedfort) 1615-1619 from Hungary made of Silver (.500) weighing 2.80 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 minted as a Piedfort, which means it was struck multiple times to create a thicker and heavier coin than usual. This process made the coin more valuable and prestigious, and it was often used for special occasions or as a symbol of wealth and power.
