<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikjo0, post: 115782, member: 3565&quot;]I&#039;m posting this coin for two reasons.One,I just found out,after having this coin for several years,that Ladislaus The First had been canonized after his death and is now St.Ladislaus.After St. Stephen,the patron Saint of Hungary,he is the most revered person in Hungarian history.</p><p>Second thing is,I have never seen the method that was apparently used to create the little round pellets on the obverse.These little things are on almost every type of hammered coin and are just cut into the obverse die but on this coin,it appears as though they were punched through from the back,or more accurately,they were &quot;helped&quot; to flow into the obverse die with a bit of reverse punching despite the fact that there is also a full design on the reverse.</p><p>Other than incuse punches on ancient Greek coins,have any of out Dark Ages/Medieval people ever seen this before on hammered coinage?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
