Hungary. Béla IV (1235-1270)
AR denár (average .55 g., 12.1 mm.), .57 g., 13.12 mm. max. 90°
Obv: Crowned head facing front over patriarchal cross, towers to sides.
Rev: Crowned winged lion facing left.
The coins of Béla IV were initially struck with a fineness of 0.800 silver, and later with a fineness of .900, and with an average weight of .52 g. (per Huszár at 11).
According to Gyöngyössy the type was issued after the Mongol invasion of 1241/1242.
The coins of Béla IV were issued with an average fineness of .800 and “later” .900, per Huszár at 11.
Rengjeo, Mimica and Dimnick-Dobrinić refer to this emission as a Croatian Freisacher issued in Slavonia under András II (1205-1235) and Dukes Béla (1220-1226; governor of Dalmatia and Croatia) and Kálmán/Coloman (1226-1235; duke of Dalmatia and Croatia) (Group V). This attribution was initially made by Hóman in 1920, who tentatively assigned this emission to a Zagreb mint. However, the basis of this attribution has been proven to be erroneous, and the consensus among Hungarian numismatists is that the emission is Hungarian (per Metcalf [1979] at 156).
