<p>[QUOTE=&quot;talerman, post: 3294909, member: 89314&quot;]Thank you, [USER=73385]@tibor[/USER]. Rarer and more interesting. As you probably know the C G mint mark stands for&nbsp; C (= Clausenburg (today Cluj in Romania)) G (= Frater Georgius, royal Treasurer). I had never heard of Brother George before I acquired the coin but I discovered he is quite a well-known figure in Hungarian history, as you may well know. Also known as&nbsp; György Martinuzzi,&nbsp; he was the son of Croatian noble Grgur Utješinovic, and Anna Martinuzzi of Venice. A Paulist friar, he became a close adviser to King Johann.&nbsp; In 1529, Zapolya appointed Martinuzzi royal Counselor and treasurer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
