Additional information

John Hunyadi struck these deniers not as king but as regent — he governed Hungary from 1446 to 1453 on behalf of the underage Ladislaus V, who was being held at the Habsburg court of Frederick III. The right to mint coin in a regent's own name was politically charged, and Hunyadi's issues reflect the extent of autonomous authority he exercised during those years. The regency ended in 1453 when Ladislaus finally entered Hungary, just three years before Hunyadi's death following the relief of Belgrade.
