Interesting fact

The Parvus coin was minted during the reign of Sigismund, who was the King of Hungary and Croatia from 1387 to 1437. The coin was made of silver and weighed 0.21 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the Parvus coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout Hungary and the surrounding regions. Its design featured the image of King Sigismund on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
