Description
Hungary, Bela III, 1172-1196, AE Follis, H.73, Rethy 101-103, Frymas H15.25
A nice example of this copper minor which is one of only two Hungarian copper coin types issued between the 10th and 17th centuries. Worn, with a straightened crease, but reasonably well detailed with green patina.
O: Illegible Cufic legend-imitation; similar legend in lines in the middle.
R: Illegible Cufic legend-imitation; similar legend in the middle, letters “IOI” below.
I would grade this coin Good Fine (Sheldon VF35). I have provided high-resolution close up photos so you can decide on a grade for yourself.
For uncertified coins I provide a grading opinion using both the UK descriptive system and the Sheldon scale (based on ANA Grading Standards and/or PCGS Photograde) which will be better known to my US customers. I offer a grading opinion as a courtesy, but please examine the high resolution close up photos carefully and decide on a grade for yourself.
