One interesting fact about the Rudolf (Piedfort) Denier coin from Hungary is that it was minted during the reign of Rudolf II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary at the time. The coin features an image of Rudolf II on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a significant departure from the previous copper coins that were commonly used in circulation at the time, making it a unique and valuable addition to any coin collection.
