Interesting fact
The Parvus - Sigismund ND (1427) coin was minted during the reign of King Sigismund of Luxembourg, who ruled Hungary from 1387 to 1437. The coin features an image of the king on horseback, surrounded by an ornate border. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted using a unique technique called "frosting," where the metal was frosted to create a textured, rough finish. This technique was used to create a sense of luxury and wealth, as it gave the coin a distinctive appearance that set it apart from other coins of the time.
