Issued in 1338 per Huszár, Pohl, Unger, Frynas and Gyöngyössy, or in 1338-1342 per Lengyel, in Syrmia (a region between the Danube and Sava Rivers, now divided between Croatia (Srijem) and Serbia (Srem)), per Pohl.
Huszár/Pohl rarity 5, Unger value 12 DM, Frynas rarity N. According to Réthy and Unger, there is no pellet between the cross and the letter m on the reverse. According to Lengyel, there is a pellet there. While Frynas and Toth describe the legend as lacking the pellet, the coins depicted show the presence of the pellet. Huszár describes the coin as lacking a pellet, and the coin depicted in Huszár/Pohl is not clear enough to confirm or contradict that description. The portion of this coin is weakly struck so that the variety cannot be discerned.
