Coins of Medieval Hungary: Part 2
CoinWeek.com, 2020
Medieval Hungarian coins appear mainly in auctions of Hungarian and German dealers. Except for a few rarities, they are surprisingly affordable. The standard reference in English is Frynas (2015), but catalog references invariably cite Huszar (1979) in German or the monumental two-volume Corpus Nummorum Hungariae (1899-1907) by Laszlo Réthy in Hungarian. A valuable resource for collectors interested in this period is the booklet Reading Medieval Coins (2009) by Ralph Walker. Shields of arms appear frequently on medieval coins, so a good book on heraldry such as Slater (2013) is helpful.

The Late Iron Age hillfort site of Kuzelin on Medvednica in south-western Pannonia has yielded a not negligible number of coins, most of which can be classified among the types that are traditionally labelled “Tauriscan”. A single coin can be categorized as an East Celtic type from Transdanubia, while two further coins were struck by pairs of dies that also occur in the Samobor–Okić hoard and were thus produced simultaneously with the bulk of the hoard, whereas the remainder can be classified as recently recognized group of coins produced in the Đurđevac (Gjurgjevac) tradition. The latter represent the debased and reduced in weight and size coins inspired by the tetradrachms deposited as the Đurđevac hoard. They were issued at various sites in south-western Pannonia, testifying to different phases of striking and local developments in their production. Two subtypes of such coins were recognized in the numismatic record of Kuzelin and are here separated out as Kuzelin A and B types. The date of these coins corresponds to the archaeological material excavated at the site, i.e., to the Lt D1 period, ca. 150/130−70/50 BC.
Pecunia Omnes Vincit. The coins as an evidence of propaganda, reorganization and forgery, 2017
We have obtained many written sources and archaeological artefacts related to the counterfeiting of coins of the Hungarian Kingdom during the Middle and Early Modern Ages. Many forgeries can be found in numismatic collections, but tracing them to a specific workshop is sometimes a difficult matter. There are a number of sites, i.e. Visegrád, Buda, Esztergom, Kassa, Tevel, Bonyhádvarasd, and Szuhogy-Csorbakő, where not only counterfeit coins but other artefacts or objects (sheet metal, raw material, casting jars, and furnaces) which are obviously related to this illegal activity have been excavated. Frigyes Kahler is the researcher who most recently (several decades ago) published articles about the counterfeiting of coins during the Middle and Early Modern Ages. Since then, many new artefacts have been found, but information about them has been published only in part, and many have not been studied by numismatists or subjected to archaeometrical investigation. Moreover, many sites and/or forgeries discussed in previous publications should be studied again using new methods and adopting new considerations. Herein we present several case studies concerning the counterfeiting of gold and silver coins from the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries.
