Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Rudolf 1578 Denier coin from Hungary is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin's design to signify the coin's value, which was equivalent to half a denier, a smaller denomination coin that was commonly used in Europe during that time. The hole also served as a way to distinguish the Rudolf 1578 Denier from other coins that did not have this feature.
