C2-166
János Hunyadi, as governor, minted this coin in the name of crowned King V. László in Buda.
Very rare.

Interesting fact

The John Hunyadi denier coin from Hungary, which was minted between 1452 and 1453, features an image of the Hungarian king on horseback, with his name inscribed in Latin on the obverse side. The reverse side of the coin bears the coat of arms of Hungary and the mintmark of Buda (now Budapest). This coin was made of silver and weighs 0.53 grams, making it a valuable and collectible piece for numismatists today.
