Additional information

Ladislaus V — the posthumous son of Albert II — was just six years old in 1446, making him king in name only while János Hunyadi governed Hungary as regent. The coins struck under his name during this regency period reflect a administration trying to project royal continuity through a child who wouldn't exercise real power for nearly a decade.

The ÉH#503 attribution places this among the lighter denier issues of the period, a weight reduction that tracks the broader fiscal pressures Hunyadi faced financing campaigns against Ottoman expansion along the southern frontier.
