|
Hungary. Louis I (Lajos I, in Hun.) (1342-1382). AR denar (15 mm.)
Obv: + LODOVIC[I • ]R VnGARIE, Two-part shield (Árpádian stripes and Angevin field of fleur-de-lis) with four lilies above and to sides.
Rev: S • LAD[IS]—LAVS • R •, Standing nimbate king, facing, holding halberd and imperial orb, lily over F/B 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 the western part of Budapest) in 1359-1364 by Franciscus Bernardi, kammergraf (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. None of the catalogs depict the fourth lily that appears outside the shield on the obverse on this coin.
Note: 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.
