I have an NGC labeled coin that reads 1569KB Hungary Denar

I would like to know what the KB stands for. 

Thank you

Update: ZacUK was faster 🙂. 

It's the abbreviation of the mint, Körmöcbánya (todays Kremnica). The Numista page of the coin mentions it in the comments: N#22141

 It had other initials over many years, and the K-B is 

 Hungarian = Körmöcz-Bánya 

or German = Kremnitz-Bergstadt
