Hungary. Béla IV (1235-1270). Huszár 309, Toth-Kiss 22.36.1.1, Unger 232, Réthy I 245, Frynas H.18.20, Lengyel 18/44, Adamovszky A371, Rengjeo 45; Mimica 45; Dimnick-Dobrinić 5.2.2

Hungary. Béla IV (1235-1270)
AR obulus (average .25 g, 10 mm.); .26 g., 10.54 mm. max. 180°
Obv: BELA REX around a cross
Rev: Angel fighting dragon
According to Gyöngyössy the type was issued after the Mongol invasion of 1241/1242
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 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 60 DM, Frynas rarity S
