Comment
Coin type identical (C.II.239) with Albert's obulus, mintmark different, see link belowInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Ladislaus V Obol coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Hungary. Ladislaus V was the last king of the Hunyadi dynasty, and his reign saw the rise of the Ottoman Empire and the fall of the Hungarian kingdom. Despite this, the coin remains a symbol of the rich history and culture of Hungary during this time period.
