VERY RARE Renaissance Silver – King Matthias Corvinus (1458–1490) Silver Obolus – ÉH 571 ​Description: ​The Rare Currency of the Black Army's Era Presenting a genuinely rare medieval silver coin from the golden age of the Kingdom of Hungary. Minted under the legendary King Matthias Corvinus—the brilliant Renaissance monarch and commander of the fearsome mercenary force known as the "Black Army"—this piece is a highly sought-after numismatic treasure. ​The Collector's Edge (The Rare Obolus): ​Extreme Scarcity: While standard silver denars of King Matthias are relatively common, an obolus (a half-denar) is significantly rarer. They were minted in much smaller quantities and, due to their tiny size, were easily lost in daily medieval commerce. Finding a surviving obolus is a true prize for any collector. ​Catalogue Reference: ÉH 571
