Albert of Habsburg's Hungarian reign lasted barely two years before his death from dysentery in October 1440, cutting short what had been an ambitious consolidation of the Habsburg, Bohemian, and Hungarian crowns under a single ruler for the first time. His coinage accordingly survives in limited quantity — not struck long enough to accumulate the die variety proliferation seen in longer reigns. The ÉH#459 attribution places this within the documented sequence for his brief Hungarian issues.
