Vladislaus I of Hungary — simultaneously Władysław III of Poland — ruled for barely four years before dying at Varna in 1444, where his ill-fated crusade against the Ottomans collapsed into catastrophic defeat. His coinage window was correspondingly narrow, and deniers attributable to his reign are distinguished from the preceding Albertine issues largely by subtle heraldic variants that generated enough ambiguity to warrant the dual Huszár references H#598 and H#599.
