Thank you. But the photos presented do not quite correspond to mine: there are many details that are different. The writing style is not the same, crosses, not dots, between words, crosses in the vase instead of flowers, etc.

Yes you are right. But there is something strange about the letters on your coin. 

Especially if you look at all the A's. As well as the I and E that are not neatly placed on the reverse from ARIE.
Could be a coiner's mistake, but it is strange.

I hope you can find a coin similar to yours online. And that it is a real one, because there are modern copy's.

Your indications allowed me to find a coin that almost matches mine (but stars instead of crosses between words and stars instead of crosses for flowers). I continue to hope that someone will find a coin identical to mine.

Must check up the history of Mathias Corvinus. To be named The Raven indicates that he wasn't someone you'd invite home for dinner.
