Comments
There are only 2 Hungarian copper coin types from 10th to 17th century, this one and EH#114
At that time, many Arab and Byzantine coins circulated in the kingdom. This coin is an imitation of Arab coinage, unlike the other, which is clearly Byzantine in inspiration.
Form of script varies very significantly
