Medieval Coinage - Angevin to Hapsburg

The Angevin dynasty spanned from 1301 to 1387. Included here are the coins of such lesser dynasties, Luxembourg, Jagiellon and Zapolya, which lead up to the death of Louis II at the hands of the Turkish invaders in 1526 and the effective end of the Hungarian Kingdom.
The coinage contained less silver over the years and it wasn't until the reign of Mathew Corvine that the silver content was raised.
