| Beschrijving keerzijde | A crowned king stands facing forward in full figure, rendered in a highly schematic medieval style. He wears royal robes with visible drapery folds and holds an orb in one hand; a light barde or sceptre is indicated in the other. The figure is set within a plain inner circle, with the broad, irregular flan characteristic of hammered Hungarian parvus coinage of the Sigismund period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The parvus denomination occupied the lowest tier of Hungary's silver coinage under Sigismund of Luxembourg, who simultaneously ruled as Holy Roman Emperor and spent much of this period consumed by the Hussite Wars in Bohemia — a campaign that strained royal finances and drove repeated debasements across his minting operations. This piece reflects those pressures directly: at 0.21 g, it represents a coin reduced to near-token status.
Sigismund held the Hungarian throne for an exceptionally long reign of fifty years, yet coinage from the 1427–1430 window is particularly associated with administrative reorganization of the Hungarian mint system under his chamber counts.
