The first is a 1444 G-W with legend variations. On the obverse mOnETA WLADISLA E instead of mOnETE WLADISLAI DEI and on the reverse UGARIE (missing N);Huszar 609,Unger 475v,Pohl 147-6..

Edward, it is great that you have access to Pohl, which is not an easy book to obtain. The coin was minted in Cuvin, now Kovin in the province of Vojvodina in Serbia.

The first one is slightly past what is cosidered medieval,but it is a 1614 N-B Hungarian Denar under King Matthias II;Huszar 1142,Unger 871. Some of the copper leeched on to the surface but gives it a nice color.

The second is a 1526 C-Lily with a Gothic C in the mint mark under King Louis II;Huszar 841,Unger 673i,Pohl 255-24.

The second is a 1489 K-P/Rosette variant without glory under Matthias Corvinus;Huszar 722var,Unger 567var,Pohl 223var. The lines on Madonna's face and neck are from the Arpadian stripes in the shield from the other side.

They are both nice additions, Edward, although I find the Huszar 722 var. to be especially interesting. I have one bearing that mintmark in which the Madonna is not nimbate but the infant Jesus is nimbate.   https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-46180. Your coin is another variety which, as far as I know, is not recorded. It seems that only those with this mintmark omit this feature.

@ Stkp,I saw the one you are talking about in your gallery and I wasn't able to find the variation  I have published. That's why I had to broad brush the attribution with a note of variation.

The first is a 1490 K-Q (Cl) Hungarian Denar under Matthias Corvinus;Huszar 722,Unger 567d,Pohl 223-4. It isn't that scarce,but I had room for it.

The second is a contemporary counterfeit Hungarian Denar from the time of Queen Maria (1382-95);Huszar 569,Unger 443 type,Pohl 114. The legend is totally unmeaning.

The third is a 1373-82 with a Lily-S mint mark under King Louis I;Huszar 547,Unger 432d,Pohl 89-9.

The first one isn't medieval,but the lowest mintage of King Leopold's reign;a 1666 K-B Hungarian Denar,Huszar 1506 and Unger 1110.

The second is a 1470 n-hammer under Matthias Corvinus;Huszar 717,Unger 562m,Pohl 216-13. It is a variant with a circle in the legend instead of the point.

The third one is quite common,but I have room for it;a 1390-1427 Hungarian Denar under Sigismund of Luxebmburg;Huszar 576,Unger 449a,Pohl 117-1.

These are variants of the Saracen head denars. They are all 1373-82 Hungarian Denars under King Louis I.

The first has a P_ (P with a stem to the right from the base). As far as I know,this one isn't recorded in the catalogues;Huszar 547var.,Unger 432c var.,Pohl 89-8 var.

The second and third are variations of the legend;I couldn't find either of these in the catalogues. They are both variants of Huszar 547,Unger 432a,Pohl 89-1. The second has the obverse legend on both sides and the third has the rverse legend on both sides.

Hi, Edwards,

Nice coins :),

About King Luis, the P mintmark look legate PL, :)
and the last two coins are interesting, but this type has several legends combination, which is not described the earlier catalogues.
Some same combination also exists the Maria coins too... :) +++ ;)

Nice coins. The one with the reverse on both sides is listed as Huszar 547a.
