Hungary. András/Andreas II (1205-1235). Huszár 270, Toth- Kiss 21.85.1.1, Unger 163, Réthy I 300, Frynas 17.42, Lengyel 17/81, Adamovszky 317, Rengjeo 56, Mimica 56, Dimnick-Dobrinić 5.1.12

Hungary. András/Andreas II (1205-1235)
AR obulus (average 0.7500 fineness; .3 g., 10.2 mm.); .32 gr., 9.98 mm. max, 180°
Obv: Crowned head facing front with two swords.
Rev: Two standing lions looking back over their shoulders, a star between them.
The coins of András II can be divided into four weight groups, with average weights of the denárs being 0.53, 0.59, 0.86 and 0.79 grams, and the heaviest apparently issued between 1222 and 1230 (per Huszár at 11). If so, based on the average weight of the companion denár (Huszár 269), this emission was issued 1222-1230, although Gyöngyössy dates it to 1215-1222.
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).
Huszár rarity 9, Toth-Kiss rarity 50, Unger value 45 DM, Frynas rarity N
