| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Virgin Mary (Madonna), serving as Patroness of Hungary, is depicted standing in a mandorla of glory, her body turned slightly and her head facing left. She holds the infant Jesus before her in her arms. A mintmark appears in the field to the right, divided by the Virgin's figure. The composition is rendered in the late Gothic style typical of Hungarian royal coinage of the 1460s–1470s, with the surrounding legend invoking her patronage of the kingdom. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Matthias Corvinus struck these groschen during the period of his Bohemian campaigns, when he was actively pressing his claim to the Bohemian crown against George of Poděbrady. The coinage served a direct military-fiscal function — paying mercenary forces, including the feared Black Army he had built into Central Europe's most professional fighting force. ÉH#550 is scarce in any condition, partly because the issue was short-lived and partly because Matthias reorganized Hungarian coinage repeatedly as his political ambitions shifted.
