| Additional information |
Nándorfehérvár — now Belgrade — was defended in July 1456 by János Hunyadi against an Ottoman siege force estimated at 70,000 men. The victory halted Mehmed II's advance into central Europe following his capture of Constantinople three years earlier. Pope Calixtus III had already ordered church bells rung daily at noon across Christendom to rally support; that tradition persisted in Catholic and some Protestant churches for centuries.
Liberia's commemorative program in the early 2000s issued dozens of pieces honoring European historical events with no meaningful connection to the issuing nation — strictly a revenue exercise targeting thematic collectors.
