| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bipartite shield within a beaded border, occupying the central field. The dexter half bears the Árpádian dynastic fesses (four horizontal bars), characteristic of the medieval Hungarian kingdom. The sinister half displays the Hunyadi family emblem: a raven (crow) shown in profile, holding a ring in its beak. The shield is rendered in the Gothic heraldic style typical of mid-fifteenth-century Hungarian hammered coinage, with no surrounding legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Matthias Corvinus seized the Hungarian throne in 1458 at age fifteen, backed by the lesser nobility as a counterweight to the powerful magnate families. By 1463 he had negotiated the Peace of Wiener Neustadt with Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III, formally securing his crown in exchange for 80,000 gold florins — a settlement that drained the treasury and likely intensified pressure on small-denomination silver output to keep trade moving.
At 0.26 g, these obols were struck at the edge of what late medieval dies could consistently handle.
