Interesting fact
The Denier coin from Hungary, issued during the reign of Stephen III (1162-1172), is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. Despite its small weight of 0.22 grams, it was still considered a significant denomination in the medieval period. Additionally, the coin's design likely featured an image of the king, which symbolized the power and authority of the Hungarian monarchy during that era.
