<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 8238449, member: 56653&quot;]Well, it&#039;s not such a minor duchy, it did comprise a third of the kingdom that was under Arpad rule in Pannonia-Banat-Dalmatia-etc. What is really interesting is the fact that it was a duchy with droit de monnaie in a rather centralised culture, where the king had a monopoly on coinage. Nitra did exert more autonomy than the rest of the duchy, which is very likely due to the West Slavic influence from the likes of Boleslav of Poland and the older tradition of Nitra as a Slavic principality from the 9th century and as a prominent part of Great Moravia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, great Hungarian coin. Probably one of the first issues for Istvan around 1020 or so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
