Interesting fact
The Stephen V ND (1270-1272) Denier coin from Hungary made of Silver weighing 0.57 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Stephen V, who was only 10 years old when he ascended to the throne, making him one of the youngest rulers in Hungarian history. Despite his young age, Stephen V's reign was marked by significant political and military achievements, including the expansion of Hungarian territories and the strengthening of the kingdom's economy. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact from that time period, providing a glimpse into the history of Hungary and the reign of its young ruler.
