The undated Denarii minted by Vladislav II – New Monetary subtypes and the Issue of their sequence

  • TITLU în română: Denarii nedataţi, menţionaţi de Vladislav al II-lea - subtipuri monetare noi şi problema secvenţei lor
  • Subiect: This article records the results of the analysis conducted on the undated denarii struck by Vladislav II, between 1500 and 1502, in the mint from Kremnica (Slovakia). Based on direct observations on the denarii in several Transylvanian hoards (Oradea - Bihor County, Hotoan - Satu Mare County etc.), taking into account the previous study of the Hungarian numismatist J. Lakos, I ordered the new subtypes identified, the so-called hybrid coins, into three distinct categories. Unlike classical hybridisation, where the dies of a monetary subtype are combined, during the minting process, with the dies of the neighbouring subtypes, in the case of Vladislav II’s denarii I noticed that the dies had suffered a series of changes as regards the writing of the coin legend. At stake were not the formulas of abbreviating the legend: M WLADISLAI R VNGARIE / PATRONA VNGARIE, but the combination of the different types of script, which highlights the gradual elimination of Gothic characters and their replacement with the humanist ones. Besides this observation, we have also identified the mechanism of die association: the new subtypes appeared as a result of associating the obverse of the traditional denarii Huszár 806, Huszár 808 and Huszár 807, with versions of the reverse of the Huszár 809 denarius.
