I just added to my
gallery a
medieval Hungarian denar minted by Matthias/Mátyás Hunyadi ("Corvinus") (1458-1490) in 1489 in Körmöcbánya/Kremnitz, now Kremnica, Slovakia, by
Peter Schaider, oberkammergraf. The coin is
type Huszár 722,
Pohl 223,
Unger 567, Réthy II 232,
Frynas 34.40, and falls within Subtype A of my classification of these coins in an old Celator article:
https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-152148This coin is particularly interesting to me because the
mintmark (O/P/rosette) is
rare and unrecorded (a similar mark, P/rosette without the O, is recorded as
Pohl 223-1,
Unger 567b&e). I have not been able to add a new Madonna denar issued by Matthias/Mátyás Hunyadi to my
collection in several years. It is a fitting lasy coin of the year for me.
Happy New Year to all!
