Not that this really helps me attribute it... 12 mm, 0.27 grams. Even tinier than the previous. If that's Hungarian, I don't think it's a full denar... [EDIT: attributed as a Lajos I denar - thanks @Spence!] Edited by january1may 10/21/2019 8:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

My best guess is that it is a Denar from Lajos the Great: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces74695.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5176 Posts	Posted 10/21/2019 8:32 pm Good eyes! That looks like a match to me. I thought the crown was a letter (some other Hungarian types have large fancy letters on them). In hand (and to some extent on the photo), I read LODO under the crown, which is consistent with this type. So I guess that's one definite attribution. Report this Post to the Staff
