Interesting fact

The Denier coin of Stephen II of Hungary, minted between 1116 and 1131, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was also relatively small, weighing only 0.55 grams, making it easy to handle and transport. Despite its small size, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout Hungary and other parts of Europe during the Middle Ages.
