Denier - István Babonich Bán, as vassal of IV. László

István Babonić served as Ban of Slavonia under Ladislaus IV — the Hungarian king whose reign was defined by chronic civil disorder, conflict with the papacy, and an infamous personal preference for Cuman company over his own court nobility. The Babonić family, a powerful Croatian-Slavonian magnate dynasty, operated with considerable autonomy during precisely these years of royal weakness. This denier belongs to a narrow two-year window tied directly to that vassal arrangement, making the dating unusually precise for a medieval provincial issue.
