Comments
According to tradition, it is known from Galeotto Marzio's description that Matthias invited to his court a "German warrior" Halabur / Holumbár / who is terrible for body and strength "/ Rupp /, whom he defeated in a knightly fight on the market square of Buda Castle. This coin may have been made to commemorate this, although there is no doubt that it was not made in its time. Presumably in the XVIII. at the end of the 19th century. it may have been made at the beginning of the 19th century.
