12-Ducat Piece of Laslo VI (II) of Hungary (1490-1516)



1506


Gold diameter 42.5 mm, weight 41.48 g


The obverse bears a depiction of St Ladislas on horseback. On the reverse is the Hungarian coat-of-arms and an inscription that makes it possible to identify the place of minting and the name of the craftsman - Hans Thurzo, who leased the mint in Kremnitza in 1496-1508. This was one of the first Hungarian coins produced in imitation of the thalers, but in gold.
