@echizento, these are great little coins. If you are looking to build a date series in the mid 1500s, this is about as inexpensive a way as I have found--generally very nice condition for a relatively low cost.

A couple friendly amendments to your attribution: the author's name is Lajos Huszar (starting with the letter H) and I'm not sure that it is one of the 935 varieties as these pertain to the 1552 and 1535 dates. I'd probably go with a straight Husz-935.

That's Chris, I was surprised how nice the details were on such a thin coin.
