Home > Members' Coin Collection Galleries > Stkp > HUNGARY: The Angevin Dynasty - Maria (1382-1387/1395)
Huszár 569, Pohl 114-4, Unger 443d, Réthy II 116, Frynas H.26.4, Lengyel 26/2/5-5K, Tóth 3.6.1.4; contemporary counterfeit.
Hungary. Maria/Mária (1382-1387 solo reign; 1387-1395 with husband Sigismund/Zsigmond of Luxembourg)

AR denar, .62 g., 15.18 mm. max, 270°

Obv: Bungled legend, open crown with retrograde Cm below

Rev: Bungled legend, Patriarchal cross

As both sides carry a titular legend, there is no consensus regarding obverse and reverse. Huszár, Pohl and Toma identify the side with the crown as the obverse whereas Unger, Réthy, Frynas, Lengyel, Tóth and Gyöngyössy identify the side with the patriarchal cross as the obverse,

The standard Huszár 569 was struck in 1384-1395 (per Huszár, with Unger and Frynas agreeing that it incepted in 1384) or in 1385-1395 (per Pohl), and is traditionally viewed as the last of three denarii struck by Maria. More recently, it has been viewed as the second type struck by her (after Huszár 565 and before Huszár 566), in 1383-1385 (per Gyöngyössi and Toma) or 1383-1387 (per Lengyel) (and per Tóth). The official coin, with a Cm below the crown, was struck in Körmöcbánya/Kremnitz (now Kremnica, Slovakia) by Johannes Craczer/János Kratzer in 1385 (per Pohl and Lengyel).

Toma notes the presence of a contemporary counterfeit of Pohl 114-4 (with the Cm mark) within the Cluj-Mănăştur Hoard, found in Cluj-Napoca, Romania (formerly, Kolozsvár, Hungary), in 1934. It is not the same as this coin.

Huszár/Pohl rarity 5; Unger rarity 10; Frynas rarity C.
