Obv: Patriarchal cross, K—f (privy mark) between arms.
Rev: Standing nimbate St. Ladislaus with halberd and globus cruciger.
The type was struck in 1427-1430 (per Pohl, Huszár & Unger). This privy mark was struck in Kremnitz (then Körmöcbánya, Hungary, now Kremnica, Slovakia) by Johannes Folbrecht von Thorn, kammergraf (per Pohl).
Huszár/Pohl rarity rating 4.
“Owing to inner strife and disordered general conditions, the coins [of this period] were usually minted with extremely low precious metal content; moreover, poor mintages were often struck with negligently engraved dies. As a result of the hurried, superficial minting, it was sometimes doubtful whether a faulty coin had been issued officially, or was a forgery” (Huszár 1963, at 15).
