Interesting fact
The Denier coin of Stephen I of Hungary, minted between 997 and 1038, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was also relatively lightweight, weighing only 1.19 grams, making it easy to handle and transport. Additionally, the fact that it was a standard circulation coin suggests that it was widely used in everyday transactions, making it a common sight in the Hungarian economy of the time.
