Hungary: Belá III (1172-1196) Æ Follis (Huszár-72; Unger-114)
Obv: SANCTA—MARIA, Nimbate Madonna facing the front, scepter in right hand, infant Jesus in left. Two crosses above.
Rev: REX BELA on left, REX STS on right; Two kings seated on thrones facing, each holding scepter and globus cruciger; long cross between. Inverted crescent and three lines in exergue.
Well, I was sort of totally convinced I saw some Arabic letters...and looks like I was totally wrong about that.
I get that the hole is not in the upper part of the coin, on neither side, but I still don’t see which way I’m supposed to look at it? I think I see the two kings but it’s a little hard to discern the details.
The coin itself is nice though! Had no idea it could be from 12th century Hungary. I just wish it wasn’t so worn...

Good work!!!
I am satisfied that my feelings still work
