Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Stephen III (mule strike) ND (1162-1172) from Hungary made of Silver weighing 0.34 g is that it is a rare example of a coin that has been struck with a "mule" die, which means that the obverse die was paired with a reverse die from a different coin, resulting in a unique combination that is not typically found on coins from this era. This error can increase the coin's value and rarity among collectors.
