1131-41 AD Hungary Denar Bela II NGC Genuine

Discover the intriguing legacy of Bela II of Hungary, known colloquially as Bela the Blind. This 1131-41 AD Hungary Denar is encapsulated by NGC and has been determined to be genuine.
 
As the son of King Colomon’s brother, Bela was seen as a significant threat to the throne, yet in Hungary, as in the Byzantine Empire, blind men were barred from wearing the crown. This historical context led paranoid kings to choose a cruel but merciful fate for rivals by blinding them instead of killing.
