It's not Louis I, but Charles I.

Louis I has a very similar coin, but with a slightly different lettering:


This is your coin, with the M or M-M mintmarks:

SGreg85,

 

Thanks for your identifications.  I have ordered an attribution book for Medieval coins from Hungary out of Portugal, but he could not send them to me in the U.S. due to the tariffs by the Ornge Haired Evil One.  Portugal has shut down shipments to the U.S. I was in the Chemistry Department at the Universidade de Aveiro, Portugal for 2.5 years ahead of COVID.  We were in the U.S. in Feb 2020 when COVID hit and then I could not get back because they locked the country down.  I had to have the books delivered to a friend in Aveiro who will hold them until we visit again in the spring.  

 

Regards,

Jeff Amelse

I have not been able to find the coins I had asked for help in attributing on Numista using the “Search the Catalog.”  Numista is a fantastic site, but the search does have some issues.  I have typed a ruler's name and get 6 pages to look through including different rulers.  One issue seems to be Polish or German, etc. spelling versus English.

 

Are my coins out there, or should I upload my pictures?  If so, can you provide the reference numbers for them?  If they are there, can you send the web sites for their listings.

Searching in the cataloge only by the rulers is tricky. You can go to the ‘Ruling Authorities’, type the issuer you want and just find the ruler in the list:

 

Alternatively, you can start in the ‘Catalogue’, type the issuer and in the filters, there is a drop-down menu with the list of the rulers:


The ÉH series (these: https://en.numista.com/literature/index.php?r=%C3%89remhat%C3%A1roz%C3%B3&t=&a=&c=) are available online, on Scribd. It's not the most up-to-date catalogue on medieval Hungarian coins, but it's better than nothing until you can get the book you've ordered.

Your coins are already on the site:
- N#74694, ÉH# 394

- N#51238, ÉH# 558

No need to add your images, but if you wish, you can add them as additional examples. Just scroll down the bottom of the coin page, to the ‘Register an example’ link.
