Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Maximilian I 1575-1578 from Hungary made of Billon (.438 silver) weighing 0.58 g is that it was issued during the reign of Maximilian I, who was the King of Hungary and Croatia from 1564 to 1576, and Holy Roman Emperor from 1575 to 1578. This coin was part of a series of coins issued 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 allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable for everyday transactions.
