Title |
Medieval coin: Hungerian Quarting of Sigismund of Luxembourg |
||
Description |
English: A complete struck / hammered silver quarting of Sigismund of Luxembourg (AD 1387 to AD 1437, Holy Roman Emperor between AD 1433 and AD 1437), struck between AD 1430 and AD 1437, mint uncertain.
Diameter: 11.50 mm A quarting was originally a quarter of a denar, of Hungerian origin. However it officially devalued several times, and in the last years of Sigismund's reign, it required between 6,000 to 8,000 quartings to be equivalent to one florin as opposed to the original 400. As such these coin were usually minted with an extremely low precious metal content, and often with negligently engraved dies. |
