Hungary 1 Parvus Sigismund?

5 posts
I've tentatively identified this:



as a Hungarian Parvus issued by Sigismund of Luxemburg, 1387 - 1427. (Sorry 'but the pics, in a rush)

I hope my Hungarian go-to-guy is still around or failing that there is someone else in our dwindling little band of brothers who can help with a few questions.

Do I have it attributed correctly? It's approximately 8mm and silver.
Is it possible to find the date using the privy marks etc?
What is the reference used, i.e. EH #461?
Would anyone like to hazard a guess to grade and value?

Thanks in anticipation.

I think you are right.
I found this in the catalog of Lajos Huszar:
(You can put the tekst in google translate: https://translate.google.com/ )

You can send your pictures to http://visit-hungary.com/huszar-lajos-eremtar?folderID=81591
for better determination and value.

You are right Phil, as always. There is 104 variations of privy marks, if you can read it on the coin (I can't see it on the pic) then maybe.
EH stands for "Éremhatározó", i.e. Hungarian Coin Identifyer, the most common reference for HU coins, besides Huszár, which has been quoted above.

As for price, I don't see any on sale on my favaorite sites now; I have 2 of them, according to my records:
1) USD 17,35 on 14.04.2002
2) USD 14,00 on 13.10.2012

In the grade as on the picture, I would say it is around 12-15 USD.
Thank you gentlemen, as always a most comprehensive reply.

I have a soft spot for all things Hungarian, especially the women and Bull's Blood wine. I can now add medieval coins to my list.

My dear Phil, did you try Rubik's cube or Biró's pen?  ;)

Bull's Blood is certainly the most famous wine, or even more probably Tokaj, which has really been "The King of Wines and the Wine of Kings" for centuries.
If you can get hold of some higher quality Villány red, or the famous/infamous "Cserszegi Fűszeres" white, which is marketed in the UK as the "unpronounceable wine".... that would raise your tastebuds to a next level. ;)
