Skip to product information
An Exceptional Piece of European History for Discerning Collectors and Connoisseurs.
For sale is a 100% authentic Medieval Silver Denar minted during the glorious reign of the legendary King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary (1458–1490). This investment-grade 15th-century silver coin is not just a numismatic artifact, but a tangible piece of a golden era when Hungary stood as the ultimate shield of Europe and a shining center of the Renaissance.
THE HISTORICAL EPIC BEHIND THE COIN
1. The Father – John Hunyadi, "The Saviour of Christianity"
King Matthias was the son of John Hunyadi (Hunyadi János), the supreme military commander famously hailed by Pope Callixtus III as the "Saviour of Christianity". John Hunyadi achieved eternal glory at the legendary Siege of Belgrade (Nándorfehérvár, 1456), where his tactical genius decisively smashed the main Ottoman army, halting their invasion of Europe for over seven decades. To this very day, church bells worldwide ring every single noon to commemorate this monumental victory for Christendom.
2. The Son – King Matthias and the Elite Black Army (Fekete Sereg)
Inheriting his father’s brilliant military mind, King Matthias I established the Black Army (Fekete Sereg), one of Europe's very first professional, highly disciplined mercenary standing armies. Composed of heavy armored cavalry, elite Swiss-style infantry, and early battlefield firearms, this elite force made the Kingdom of Hungary a feared superpower. This coin circulated during the height of this chivalric knight era, financing the defenses of Europe.
EXQUISITE MEDIEVAL NUMISMATIC ART
The Raven (Corvus) Crest: The obverse proudly displays the classic quartered medieval Hungarian coat of arms. In the center sits the iconic Hunyadi Raven holding a gold ring in its beak—the powerful personal sigil of the Hunyadi house (derived from the Latin Corvus, which gave Matthias his historic name, "Corvinus"). The shield also displays the royal Árpád stripes, the double cross of the kingdom, and the Bohemian lion.
The Protector – Patron Saint Madonna and Child: The reverse showcases a beautiful, detailed engraving of the Virgin Mary (Patrona Hungariae) seated on her heavenly throne, cradling the infant Jesus. This powerful imagery served as a constant reminder of divine protection for the kingdom that held the eastern frontlines of the Christian world.
