Interesting fact
The Denier coin from the Banate of Severin, which was issued during the reign of Nicolae Redwitz (1429-1435), features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. On one side, the coin bears the image of a crowned king, believed to be King Sigismund of Luxembourg, who ruled Hungary at the time. On the other side, the coin features a shield with the coat of arms of the Banate of Severin, which includes a depiction of a severed head. This unusual design element has led some numismatists to speculate that the coin may have been used as a form of propaganda, symbolizing the power and authority of the ruling dynasty.
