tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7986 Posts	Posted 08/02/2023 07:28 am Nice example with clear, complete legends (yours is much nicer than mine!). First photo has Saint Ladislas (haloed) who is usually seen holding a halberd. S LADISCAVS R (Saint Ladislas, King ... small spelling mistake by the diemaker). An interesting figure who was a king of Hungary (1077- 1095), later venerated as a saint (this was a thing in medieval cental Europe ... Holy Roman Emperor Henry II started the trend, I believe). Other side we can read most of LODOVICI R VNGARIE (Louis, King of Hungary). Maybe Louis like the model of the holy-warrior-king and used Ladislas' image to reinforce this?

EddieDiz Pillar of the Community United States 1186 Posts	Posted 08/02/2023 1:14 pm It looks like from King Louis I. Numista has it as 1358-71 but I have on the 2x2 1365-68. I will have to see how I narrowed it down. Edited by EddieDiz 08/02/2023 1:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
