Description: | II. Mátyás 16 ducat Siege of Esztergom 1595/1601 replica The special feature of the so-called mule mint is that the reverse and obverse were produced in two different years, which were combined to finally mint the rare gold medal. The medal tells the story of Esztergom's troubled years during the Turkish wars: the city was sometimes under Habsburg and sometimes Turkish rule. On the front page II. Emperor Matthias poses as the commander-in-chief of the Hungarian armies, the medal commemorates his victories in 1595 and 1601. |
