Hungary. Béla IV (1235-1270). Huszár 266, Toth-Kiss 22.11.1.1, Unger 160, Réthy I 226, Frynas 17.38, Lengyel 18/30, Adamovszky 313, Rengjeo 38, Mimica 38, Dimnick-Dobrinić 4.1.6

Hungary. Attributed to Béla IV (1235-1270) by Toth-Kiss and Lengyel, and to András/Andreas II (1205-1235) by Huszár, Unger, Frynas, Adamovszky and Gyöngyössy (who states that the type was issued 1215-1222). The reattribution is based on a study of hybrid denárs (per Toth-Kiss at pp. 30-31).
AR denár (average .56 g., 13.1-13.3 mm.); .32 g., 12.49 mm. max, 180°
Obv: Tower above crescent above star, flanked by profiles facing left and right, pellets above.
Rev: Panther facing left under branched tree with leaves, rosette above in left field and Hebrew letter ט (tet) above in right field.
The Hebrew letter ט (tet) is probably the mark of Teka, who was a kammergraf in 1232 (under András II) and 1235-1245 (under Béla IV), per Rádóczy and Nagy.
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 1212-1220 in Slavonia under András II (1205-1235) and various Bans (Group IV). 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). Rengjeo, Mimica and Dimnick-Dobrinić do not note the presence of the Hebrew letter on the reverse.
Huszár rarity 6, Toth-Kiss rarity 25, Unger value 34 DM, Frynas rarity N
