Hungary. Béla IV (1235-1270). Huszár 315, Toth-Kiss 22.58.1.1, Unger 255, Réthy I 248, Frynas 18.40, Lengyel 18/63, Adamovszky 380, Rengjeo 48, Mimica 48, Dimnick-Dobrinić 5.1.7
Hungary. Béla IV (1235-1270)

AR denár (average .51 g., 12.5 mm.);, .42 g., 13.8 mm. max., 180°

Obv:  [* R]EX-BELA, around crowned head facing front.

Rev:  Patriarchal cross, facing crowned heads below, star and crescent above, annulets between cross arms and to sides.

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).

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

Huszár rarity 10, Toth-Kiss rarity 100, Unger value 38 DM, Frynas value S
