HUN_Andras_II_Huszar_245.JPG
Hungary. András/Andreas II (1205-1235). Huszár 245, Toth-Kiss 21.88.1.1, Unger 178, Réthy I 208, Frynas 17.59, Lengyel 17/64, Adamovszky 291 Hungary. András/Andreas II (1205-1235)

AR denár (average 0.7500 fineness; .75 g., 14.1 mm.); .70 g., 14.19 mm. max. 0°

Obv: Crowned head facing front in archway, star to left, three towers above.

Rev: Deer with cross-staff facing right, star to right.

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, this emission was issued 1230-235, as noted by Gyöngyössy.

AR denár (average 0.7500 fineness; .83 g., 13 mm.); .60 gr.,12.59 mm. max, 90°

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, 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).

Attributed to Béla IV (1235-1270) by Toth-Kiss and Lengyel, and to András/Andreas II (1205-1235) by Huszár, Unger, Frynas, Adamovszky and Gyöngyössy (who states that the type was issued 1215-1222). The reattribution is based on a study of hybrid denárs (per Toth-Kiss at pp. 30-31).

AR denár (average .56 g., 13.1-13.3 mm.); .32 g., 12.49 mm. max, 180°

Obv: Tower above crescent above star, flanked by profiles facing left and right, pellets above.

Rev: Panther facing left under branched tree with leaves, rosette above in left field and Hebrew letter ט (tet) above in right field.

The Hebrew letter ט (tet) is probably the mark of Teka, who was a kammergraf in 1232 (under András II) and 1235-1245 (under Béla IV), per Rádóczy and Nagy.

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 1212-1220 in Slavonia under András II (1205-1235) and various Bans (Group IV). 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).

Attributed to Béla IV (1235-1270) by Toth-Kiss and Lengyel, and to András/Andreas II (1205-1235) by Huszár, Unger, Frynas, Adamovszky and Gyöngyössy (who states that the type was issued before 1215). The reattribution is based on a study of hybrid denárs (per Toth-Kiss at pp. 30-31).

AR obulus (average .23 g, 10.6-10.8 mm.); .37 g., 10.83 mm. max., 180°

Obv: Tower above crescent above Hebrew letter ש/shin (per Huszár, Toth-Kiss and Lengyel) or E-shape (per Frynas), flanked by profiles facing left and right, pellets above.

Rev: Panther facing left under branched tree with leaves, Hebrew letter פ/feh-peh (per Toth-Kiss) or ט/tet (per Lengyel).above, although Huszár and Frynas do not recognize any Hebrew letter,

The Hebrew letter on the reverse is most likely a ט/tet. This is consistent with the letter appearing on the matching denár Huszár 266, is probably the mark of Teka, who was a kammergraf in 1232 (under András II) and 1235-1245 (under Béla IV), per Rádóczy and Nagy. Moreover, the פ/feh-peh is probably the mark of Fredman, who was a kammergraf in 1270-1272 under István V (1270-1272); as such, the mark is inconsistent with either Béla IV or András II.

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 1212-1220 in Slavonia under András II (1205-1235) and various Bans (Group IV).

Rengjeo, Mimica and Dimnick-Dobrinić do not note the presence of the Hebrew letters on the obverse and reverse; Dimnick-Dobrinić describes the letter on the obverse as a trefoil ornament (consistent with Frynas).

AR denár (average .56 g, 12.5 mm.); .55 g., 12.77 mm. max.

Obv: BELAE REX (per Huszár, Frynas, Lengyel, Adamovszky and Gyöngyössy) or BELA, Hebrew letter ש/shin, REX (per Toth-Kiss), Hebrew letter ט/tet in center.

Rev: Angel stabbing dragon

The Hebrew letter ט/tet is probably the mark of Teka, per Rádóczy and Nagy. Teka was ennobled by András II (1205-1235). A source document refers to “iudeus Teha comes in reddenda ratione nostri negocii de opere camere” (= “the Jewish Teha count by reason of our chamber [treasury] business”). His activities are recorded as early as 1225, when he acted as a financial intermediary between András II and Duke Leopold VI of Austria. He disappears from the historical texts by 1243.

The orientation of the obverse is ambiguous. All references orient the obverse so that the B at the start of the legend is just past 12:00 o’clock. If oriented so that the B is at 6:00 o’clock the Hebrew letter is oriented properly. However, if oriented so that the B is at 3:00 o’clock, the Hebrew letter appears to be a פ/feh-peh. That is the mark of Fredman, per Rádóczy and Nagy, who was active after the reign of Béla IV.

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.

Obv: + REX • BELA • ×—/het •, Crowned bust facing front.

Rev: Eagle with spread wings.

The presence of the symbol on the obverse is not noted in Réthy and Frynas, and is described as a retrograde letter K in Huszár, Adamovszky and Gyöngyössy. It was identified as the Hebrew letter ×—/het by Rádóczy and Nagy, and is probably the mark of Henok. Henok was enobled as a kammergraf by Béla IV in 1250. The source document refers to “Henel Judeus comes camerae regiae” (= “The Jewish Henel count of the royal chambers [treasury]”). He died indebted to the crown in 1265. The symbol is identified as the Hebrew letter צ/tsadi by Toth-Kiss and as the letter מ/mem by Lengyel. However, neither of those letters can be associated with a known moneyer or mint, and the identification of the letter as a ×—/het is most likely.

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.

The corresponding denár (Huszár 314) was struck after the Mongol invasion of 1241-1242 per Gyöngyössy.

The corresponding denár bears a symbol immediately following the legend which is described as a retrograde letter K in Huszár, Adamovszky and Gyöngyössy. It was identified as the Hebrew letter ×—/het by Rádóczy and Nagy, and is probably the mark of Henok. The symbol is identified as the Hebrew letter צ/tsadi by Toth-Kiss and as the letter מ/mem by Lengyel. The symbol is not depicted in or specifically stated to be present on the obolus by Huszár, Unger, Réthy and Frynas, although it is both depicted and stated to be present by Adamovszky. If ever present on the obulus, it is present on a minority of coins. It does not appear on this coin.

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).

The Slavonien banaldenári were initially struck under Béla IV. The reverse of this coin bears the standard reverse featured on the banaldenári.

Obv: Agnus Dei facing left with cross-banner.

Rev: Hebrew letter ט/tet in floral wreath.

The Hebrew letter ט/tet is probably the mark of Teka, per Rádóczy and Nagy. Teka was ennobled by András II (1205-1235). A source document refers to “iudeus Teha comes in reddenda ratione nostri negocii de opere camere” (= “the Jewish Teha count by reason of our chamber [treasury] business”). His activities are recorded as early as 1225, when he acted as a financial intermediary between András II and Duke Leopold VI of Austria. He disappears from the historical texts by 1243. Rádóczy and Nagy attributed this coin to Béla IV.

“[F]oreign influence spread to contemporary Hungarian coinage from the Vienna denars, a collective term applied to the coins issued by Austrian princes beginning with the end of the 12th century through various mints. Such coins appeared as commercial currency in large quantities all over Hungary in the course of the 13th century . . . [T]he types virtually vied with the fantastic animal shapes of contemporary sculpture . . . Of these motifs, that of the Agnus Dei enjoyed particular favour in contemporary Romanesque sculpture.” (Huszár [1963] at 12).

Given that he ruled for only 27 months (May 3, 1270 to August 6, 1272) the number of emisions cannot be explained by the annual renewal and replacement of the coinage. However, István assumed the governance of the eastern part of the country as duke in 1257, in 1258 became the ruler of South-Styria, and in 1262 forced his father to enlarge his territory and adapted the title Younger King.

He was still active in 1291, during the reign of András/Andrew III (1290-1301). Due to pressure from the Papacy, Fredman did not place Hebrew marks on coins during the reigns of László and András.
