Obverse: coat of arms, * FERDINAND · D · G · R · VNG * 1541 ("Ferdinand, by the grace of God, King of Hungary").
Reverse: crowned Madonna with child in her right arm divides mintmark, PATRONA * * VNGARIE ("Patroness of Hungary").
Kremnica mint (K-B mintmark).
Fun early-dated silver and a decent example of this often crudely-struck issue. The date is clearly visible on the flan, and the reverse features the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus.
This example is toned and shows some doubling in the strike.
Ferdinand I was King of Hungary from 1526 to 1564, and later Holy Roman Emperor.
