Title: ID help for Hungarian coins
Post by: agord on April 14, 2009, 01:04:59 am

Would appreciate some help identifying these 3. I believe the top coin to be from the period between Sigismund and Matthias Corvinus, the 2nd coin from Sigismund and the 3rd coin from Matthias Corvinus.

The top coin was issued by János Hunyadi (Governor, 1446-1453).  It was struck in Buda in 1446.  The catalog references for it are Huszár 618, Pohl 175-1, Unger 485a, Réthy II 156.

The middle coin was issued by Sigismund  of Luxembourg (1387-1437).  It was struck in Kremnitz in 1436 by Leonardo Bardi-Noffry or Petrus Lang.  The catalog references for it are Huszár 578, Pohl 118-9, Unger 450c, Réthy II 124A.

The bottom coin was issued by Matthias "Corvinus" (1458-1490).  It was struck in 1479-1485 in Kremnitz by Augustin Langsfelder and Veit Mülstein.  The catalog references for it are Huszár 719, Pohl 221-4, Unger 5654, Réthy II 239A.
