On the face of the coin in the center it looks to be a church steeple, and around the outer part is written MAGYAR KIRALYI VALTOPENZ. On the reverse side of the coin in the center is a large 2 and below the 2 are the letters K.B.. Around the outer area there is a wreath. I would appreciate if you could advise me if the coin has any value. Â Thanks for your help.
Your Hungarian coin is fairly common. It is a bronze 2 Filler (100 Filler = 1 Korona). The letters “K.B.” are the mint mark, that is, the place where it was minted, in this case, Kremnitz. Values are from about $1 to $10 depending on grade.
