1450-1620 Hungary Silver Denarius Madonna & Child NGC Genuine

Revered Renaissance Era Hungarian Madonna & Child Coins

This silver dinar coin was minted between 1450 and 1620 under the rule of the Hapsburg kings of Hungary. First struck during the reign of King Matthias Corvinus (1458-1490), it displays the Madonna and Child—an image that became a hallmark of Hungarian coins in the 1400s when the Hapsburgs cemented their hold.

Coins Dedicated To The Patron Saint Of Hungary

Though the Hapsburgs redesigned much of their realm's currency when they took over, there was no way they were going to remove this important religious symbol. That's because Mary the Mother of Jesus is the Patron Saint of Hungary and removing the symbol from the coin during this era would have been nothing short of political suicide! Known as Maddonnenmunzen to differentiate it from the earlier Hungarian "Shield Coins" struck a century earlier, the coin's obverse displays the Hapsburg's Royal Hungarian coat of arms.
