<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3289775, member: 46237&quot;]Krause is good as a general catalog for looking up something quickly that you know nothing about. When you are looking for more in depth information though it becomes rather lacking and is full of errors. There are Hungarian coins in Krause that are badly misattributed, many that are omitted, and even a couple that are listed that I am convinced do not actually exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>While there are many works that include the Horthy issues, the two major catalogs that cover those coins are:</p><p><br /></p><p>Huszár Lajos <b>Münzkatalog Ungarn von 1000 Bis Heute</b> (1979)</p><p><br /></p><p>While Huszár authored many books on Hungarian numismatics, this is his major work. It is frequently cited with his catalog system referred to as &quot;Huszár&quot;. Copies can be found in either Hungarian or German, but German is more commonly available. Huszár does not list weights, however, his catalog is extensive and has photographs for each type.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]869818[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>ifj. Adamovszky István <b>Magyar Érme Katalógus 1848-2012</b> (2012)</p><p><br /></p><p>Adamovszky István was very prolific, writing works on Hungarian coins and banknotes. He died in 2012, and this book was published by his son. It is an update to his father&#039;s previous book by the same title (covering 1848-2010), along with updates and revisions; making it the definitive version. His catalog system is cited as &quot;Adamo&quot;. You can buy this book directly from the Hungarian mint&#039;s website. This book has great photographs and includes as many &quot;other strikes&quot; - restrikes, trials, patterns, forgeries, etc. as he was aware of. The one one minor criticism I have about his catalog is that he lumps &quot;minor&quot; type changes together instead of splitting them out as other types (though he does note them). As a nice bonus, this catalog also includes a price guide (in Euro), though it is beginning to get a little dated.</p><p><br /></p><p>If there is one book you should own regarding Horthy era coinage, it is this one. Please note, this book is written entirely in Hungarian.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]869819[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
