Sap Moderator Australia 16842 Posts	Posted 01/10/2023 5:02 pm There's an "M" on the opposite side of the "D". "MD" is abbreviated Latin for "Mater Dei", the title of the Virgin Mary. I think the shield is from Hungary, but I'm not familiar with this specific coin type. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7955 Posts	Posted 01/10/2023 11:45 pm I agree that shield looks like something used by a Hungarian ruler (Arpad arms on the left were characteristic of the Angevin kings and queens who ruled in the 14th century). I wonder if it could pertain to Queen Mary? I scrolled through EddieDiz thread on Hungarian denars and couldn;t find it. Report this Post to the Staff

I went through the Numista listings for Hungary, plus searched for MD, it remains an enigma for now.... Report this Post to the Staff
