1450–1620 Hungary Silver Denarius Madonna & Child NGC AU53

Revered Renaissance Era Hungarian Madonna & Child Coins

Travel to the town of Kremnica in Slovakia and you’ll find a working mint that was established in the 1300s! Operations began soon after gold and silver were discovered in the local mines, and it was that very mint that struck this silver dinar coin between 1450 and 1620 under the rule of the Hapsburg kings of Hungary. 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.

An Important Piece Of European And Christian History
