HUN_Matyas_I_Huszar_733.jpg
Huszár 733, Pohl 228, Unger --, Réthy II 248, Frynas S. Wroc. 10.1, Kopicki 8774-8775, Friedensburg 557bHungary. Matthias/Mátyás Hunyadi ("Corvinus") (1458-1490), as King of Bohemia (1469-1490).

AR garas/groschen, struck for the city of Wratislawia in Silesian Bohemia (now Breslau/Wroclaw, Poland); 2.12 g., 25.90 mm. max., 180°.

Obv: + MATHIAS • PRIMVS • D • G • R • BOHEMIE, Four-part shield with Árpádian stripes, Bohemians lion, Lusatian bull and Silesian eagle, raven with ring in escutcheon.

Rev: GROSSVS • WRA-TISLAVIENSIS, Figure of Saint John the Baptist facing, holding lamb.

Type struck 1470-1490 (per Pohl) for the city of Wratislawia in Silesia (now Breslau/Wroclaw, Poland), after Matthias was elected by the insurgent Catholic Czech aristocrats as king of Bohemia in 1469 in opposition to the Hussite king, George PodÄ›brady, and seized Silesia. He was never crowned. In 1479, he agreed to limit his rule to Moravia, Silesia, and Lusatia, while retaining his title. Huszár does not list the coin without a W mintmark (in the reverse left field) but Pohl notes that it also appears without a mintmark. It seems to be more common without the mark.

Huszár/Pohl rarity 10, Frynas rarity S.

The type was struck 1472-1478 per Pohl. Huszár, Unger, Gyöngyössy and Frynas all assign a date range of 1471-1481.

This privy mark was struck in Kremnitz/Körmöcbánya, now Kremnica, Slovakia, by Johannes Constorfer, kammergraf. Although Pohl does not assign a specific date to this mark, Gyöngyössy assigns 1471.

Huszár/Pohl rarity 4, Unger value 7 DM, Frynas rarity C. By my provisional estimate, roughly 30% of this type bears this mark. Coins of this type with this mark most commonly have this obverse legend (or a minor variant). In my article on this coinage, I classified coins bearing this legend as Subtype A.

The type was struck 1468-1470 per Pohl and Unger, except that Pohl extends the type to 1484 re one scarce mintmark. Huszár and Gyöngyössy assign date ranges of 1468-1471 and 1468-1477, respectively, presumably in recognition of the later striking of coins bearing that one scarce mark. Frynas simply assigns a date of 1468 to this type.

This mark was struck in Kremnitz/Körmöcbánya, now Kremnica, Slovakia, by Johannes Constorfer, kammergraf, in 1468.

Huszár/Pohl rarity 3, Unger value 7 DM, Frynas rarity C. By my provisional estimate, roughly 10% of this type bears this mark. This is a highly variable type. Coins with this mark typically have the obverse legend + mOnETA • mAThIE • R • VnG (or a minor variation), whereas coins of this type with the mark K-shield (also struck in Kreminitz under Constorfer, but in 1469) have the obverse legend + m • mAThie • R • VnGARIE (or a minor variant). In either event, the raven is within a whole or partial escutcheon, stands on a twig and has prominent feet. This coin is unusual in that it bears the latter legend, but the obverse die was erroneously engraved to omit the second "m" (for Mathie). I have only seen one other example of this mark with the latter legend, and it was also erroneously engraved in this manner, although from a different die. In my article on this coinage, I classified coins bearing this mark and the former legend as Subtype D1 and D2 (depending on the presence or absence of the large clearly defined ring ). The variety with the latter legend, represented by this coin, was then unknown to me and not mentioned.
