Huszár 542, Pohl 79-2, Unger 429i, Réthy II 94A80 viewsHungary. Louis I (Lajos I, in Hun.) (1342-1382). AR denar (14 mm.)
Obv: + LODOVICI • R • VnGARIE, Two-part shield (Árpádian stripes and Angevin field of fleur-de-lis) with three lilies above and to sides.
Rev: • S LADIS—LAVS • R •, Standing nimbate king, facing, holding halberd and imperial orb, P in right field (privy mark).
The type was struck 1358-1371 (per Huszár & Unger) or 1359-1371 (per Pohl). This privy mark was struck in Buda (now Budapest) by Petrus Chimle, in 1365-1368 (per Pohl).
Huszár/Pohl rarity rating 5. The descriptions and depictions of this emission vary from catalog to catalog with respect to the presence and placement of pellets in the legend. As this coin was double struck, it is not possible to ascertain the precise configuration of pellets in all locatons.
Ladislaus I (László in Hun.) (1077-1095) was canonized in 1192. His name typically appeared, albeit in an increasingly decaying form, on the reverse of 12th century emissions, and his stylized image and name appeared on this and other later emissions.

Huszár 803, Pohl 238-5, Unger 638f, RĂ©thy II 276. Kaplan (pub. pending) Subtype B2 110 viewsHungary. Wladislaus II (Ulászló II in Hun.) (1490-1516). AR denar, 17 mm.
Obv: M • WLADISLAI • R • VNGARIE •, Four-part shield with Hungarian arms (Árpádian stripes, patriarchal cross, Dalmatian leopard heads, Bohemian lion), Bohemian lion in escutcheon.
Rev: PATRONA – VNGARIE •, Crowned Madonna with infant Jesus to her right, K–T (privy mark) in fields.
The type was struck 1490-1502 (per Huszár) or 1490-1498 (per Unger) or 1492-1499 (per Pohl). This privy mark was struck in 1498 (per Pohl & Unger) in Kremnitz (formerly Körmöcbánya, Hungary, now Kremnica, Slovakia) by Hans Thurzó or Matthias Tengler, each of whom was a kammergraf at Kremnitz sometime during the year 1498 (per Pohl). As none of the subsequent emissions attributed to Thurzó bear this mark, it would appear that this mark was more likely struck by Tengler, who would otherwise have served without leaving any mark.
Huszár/Pohl rarity rating 3. Subtype B is a rare variety of the emission, in which the Madonna and infant Jesus are not nimbate (described and depicted in Huszár and Pohl), and Sub-subtype 2 is the variant of the subtype in which there are neither pellets nor annulets to the sides of the shield (also depicted in Huszár and Pohl). This privy mark only appears on Subtype B coins.
