<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2242502, member: 46237&quot;]The Magyar Erme Katalogus (1848-2010) was an invaluable resource, and I&#039;ve since ordered the updated version (1848-2012) put out by the author&#039;s son after his death. Aside from this, I&#039;ve found that old auction catalogs from the European auction houses have been the most help in finding supplemental information, especially regarding medals and jetons. I&#039;ve also gotten a lot of help from another local ancient/classic Hungarian collector that a local world coins dealer got me in touch with.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had originally set out create an uncirculated type set of the coins of the Austro-Hungarian compromise (1867-1916). Based on my research I&#039;ve included 40 regular issues, 1 commemorative token (struck in gold, silver, and bronze), 2 mules, and 2 patterns in this set. I&#039;m about 65% complete (not including restrikes), with most of the remaining coins being prohibitively expensive and/or extremely scarce. I&#039;m mostly working on upgrades and proof restrikes now.</p><p><br /></p><p>In researching this set and finding additional resources, I expanded into the Austrian occupation coins minted in Hungary (mints B, E, G) from 1851-1867, including the Hungarian versions of the coronation jetons minted in Vienna in 1867, as well as other Hungarian coronation medals of Franz Joseph I and Elisabeth. On the other end, I expanded into the scarce types and coronation medals of Karoly IV and Empress Zita, which are mostly patterns (1916-1922). I&#039;m now getting into the Kingdom of Hungary coins minted under Regent Horthy (1927-1946).</p><p><br /></p><p>All in all it&#039;s been a great set to work on. I don&#039;t have everything photographed yet, but the Franz Joseph stuff I have posted on CollectiveCoin here: <a href="https://collectivecoin.com/Jaelus/6Zzt59HxHDIRhfzO5vI6" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://collectivecoin.com/Jaelus/6Zzt59HxHDIRhfzO5vI6" rel="nofollow">https://collectivecoin.com/Jaelus/6Zzt59HxHDIRhfzO5vI6</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
