    Here's another mystery coin I found in a box of "stuff" around here. it appears to be silver, is very thin and about 15mm in diameter. I'm not even sure if the right hand photo is right side up or not. Any ideas? Thanks, Mike. MVC-119S.JPG

    The centre of the right picture shows Madonna with Child. Year to the left of this.

    it's a hungarian denar, 1400-1600 or so.

    THC beat me 2 the punch, his answer is better anyway.

    Thanks for the identification. I would have never figured it out. Mike.

    That's the small arms of Hungary by the way. The KB to either side of the shield is the mint mark for Körmöcbánya (now Kreminca, Slovakia).
