Interesting fact
The Vladislaus II (Piedfort) Groschen coin from Hungary, minted between 1500-1501, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted with a unique technique called "piedfort," which means that the coin was struck multiple times to create a thicker and heavier coin than usual. This process resulted in a coin that weighs 19.85 grams, making it a notable example of early European coinage.
