The Age of Knights

Who loves knights?
Today I bring you a small coin from the Age of Knights.
It was a real knightly struggle to explore this little nugget.
But I succeeded in it.

The coin comes from the era of Charles Robert or Charles I of Hungary or Charles I Robert (1288–16 July 1342) was King of Hungary (1310–1342). He was the grandson of Charles II of Naples and Mary Árpád. He was the son of Charles Martel of Anjou and Clemencia, daughter of Rudolf I of Habsburg.
I am from Vojvodina, now a province in Serbia, was part of the Hungarian Empire in the Middle Ages.This area is a crossroads of many roads and conflicts.There are many lost coins.
It's difficult for me to give it a preservation rating. Maybe ,,VF,, correct me if I'm wrong

@coinjoe Gave me the idea to bring a little history off coin
I imagine knights paying for their drinks with this coin.

@straykat Almost seven hundred years for this coin, I hope you find it interesting.

I can't begin to imagine how many hands this coin had traveled in the last 700 years, If it could only talk.

That would be a story.
