Interesting fact
The Groschen - Louis I ND (1342-1345) coin from Hungary made of Silver is interesting because it was used as a means of payment during the reign of King Louis I of Hungary, who was also known as Louis the Great. He was a powerful king who ruled Hungary, Poland, and parts of modern-day Ukraine, and his coinage was an important symbol of his power and influence. The coin features an image of the king on one side and a cross on the other, reflecting the strong Catholic faith of the time. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not particularly valuable, as it was widely used and circulated during its time. Today, however, it is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of Hungary and medieval Europe.
