Hi friends, I'm new to the
forum.
I bought this unknown coin that came from Eastern countries (former Yugoslavia).
From a
search in your
forum I saw that it could resemble the Hungarian saracen
head coin minted during the reign of Louis I of Anjou. On one
side of the coin there is a
patriarchal cross with random dots. On the other
side of the coin there appears to be a saracen
head.
The inscriptions on the coin do not appear to be those of Huszár 547 or a Huszár 550.
Already the Angevin
king Charles I (1308-1342), father of Luigi instituted a series of
mint for the
collection of the lucrum camerae tax (delivery of old
money to replace it with new production
money with the application of a commission for the benefit of the royal coffers) throughout the country: in addition to Buda, Esztergom, Szerém, Csanád and Slavonia also in Körmöcbánya, Szomolnok, Szatmár, Várad, Transylvania and Pécs.
Is it possible that the coin was issued with the consent of
King Louis I from one of the vassal states of the Kingdom of
Hungary: Wallachia, Banat of
Severin, Moldova, Bosnia,
Serbia ??
In the inscriptions we find the following possible letters:
(
Cross) ?A????ADVWO(or G or E)AIVO
(Saracen
Head) ?HOMHTO?
In some
contemporary coins of Wallachia
we find similar inscriptions such as:
………AI WODI…………..
………..WOIDEI………….
……….WAIWOD………..
To indicate a woiwode (voevoda, voivod, vojvoda, voevod, vaivode, wojewoda, voyvoda, voyevoda, woywode, vojvode) a vassal of the
king of
hungary.
is there any source to consult?
