Comment
After the extinction of the House of Árpád, one supporter group had chosen Otto of Bavaria for King (1304-1308) and in his name Ban Henrik of Güssing(1301-1310) had issued the money with O-T (Otto) or O-H (Otto-
Henricus).
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Hungarian States. The Province of Slavonia, where the coin was minted, was an important center of trade and commerce, and the coin likely played a significant role in facilitating transactions and exchange in the region. Despite being made of silver, the coin is relatively lightweight, weighing only 0.79 grams, which may indicate that it was intended for use in small transactions or as a token of value rather than as a large denomination coin.
