Denier - Ladislaus V

Ladislaus V — Ladislaus Posthumus — was literally born after his father Albert II died, delivered by caesarean section in 1440 and immediately plunged into a succession crisis that split Hungary between his regency supporters and the rival kingship of Władysław III of Poland. He never truly governed independently; his entire reign was mediated first by regents, then by John Hunyadi. These deniers from 1451–52 were struck during Hunyadi's regency, a period of near-constant Ottoman pressure following the disaster at Varna in 1444.
