Hi,
By the cross design I can deduce this coin is fromHungary. Can anyone confirm and give me more information about it ?
Thanks in advance.

this ist the so called "Saracenen-Denar" - RV = Head of a Maures man
in the time of
Ludwig (Louis ) I. v. Anjou 1342-1382
Huszar 547, Réthy-Probszt 89 A, o,46 gr
( turn the coin till you can see the head of the saracene on Rv )
best regards, heripo

Hi heripo,
It't true. Some minor coins from Aragon Kingdom of Jaime I (1213-1276) or
Jaime II (1291-1327) or Pedro IV (1335-1387) or Alfonso V (1416-1458) presents this double cross, but the portrait side usually shows the halft side up of the body, not only the head as it shows the supposed hungarian coin.
Regards, aidab.
