Obol - Vladislaus II

Vladislaus II — the Bohemian king elected by Hungarian nobles in 1490 over the stronger claim of Maximilian of Habsburg — spent much of his reign conceding authority to the magnate class that had placed him on the throne. His coinage reflects this institutional drift: the royal mints operated inconsistently, and minor denominations like the obol were produced in diminishing quantities as central fiscal control weakened. The period 1490–1497 predates the formal monetary reforms his administration attempted later, leaving early issues variably executed across minting centers.
