Sažetak

The term “banovac” (denarius banalis) has been known in literature
since the late 19th century, when Ćiro Truhelka published his
capital work Slavonski banovci: prinos hrvatskoj numismatici
in 1897. This type of coin has been sporadically mentioned ever
since, usually in the form of short research papers or in larger
syntheses. The denars issued by Ban1 Miklós Amade (Lat. Nicola
Omodei; Cro. Nikola Omodejev)2 were unknown as such at that
time. Rather, they were attributed to the reign of King Bela IV, almost
a century before their actual time, until the discovery of the
Mekiš-Zgruti hoard. The denars or “banovci” from the hoard are
characterized by superficially executed obverses and reverses,
which especially applies to legends, in contrast to earlier issues.
The overall aim of this paper is to draw attention to the importance
of this autonomous coinage from the region of Slavonia,
which was used for financial transactions in that area during
the 13th and 14th centuries. Also, by taking into consideration
the Mekiš-Zgruti hoard, this paper will offer some insights on a
small part of the hundred-year history of the minting of “banovac”
coins.
