Interesting fact

The Stephen V ND (1270-1272) Denier coin from Hungary, made of silver and weighing 0.55g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in Hungary. Stephen V was the first king of Hungary to issue coins with his own name and title, and this coin was part of a series of reforms he implemented to strengthen the Hungarian economy and centralize power. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is now a rare and valuable collector's item due to its historical significance and the limited number of coins minted.
