Interesting fact
The Stephen III ND (1162-1172) Denier coin from Hungary made of Silver weighing 0.20 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of significant political and economic change in Hungary. Stephen III was the first king of Hungary to issue coins with his own name and title, which signified a shift towards greater independence from the Holy Roman Empire. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a departure from the previous practice of using copper, indicating an increase in the value of silver in the region.
