| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized fortified wall with a central tower surmounted by a pointed roof, flanked by rosettes in the field on either side. Two crosses appear below the battlements, and the architectural composition is contained within the irregular flan. The design is a simplified heraldic rendering of a fortification or castle gateway, consistent with the reverse types of Árpád-era Hungarian deniers. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Andrew II's reign was defined less by monetary policy than by chronic fiscal desperation. His 1222 Golden Bull — Hungary's answer to Magna Carta, issued under baronial pressure — was partly a consequence of the king having alienated royal lands and revenues so recklessly that the nobility revolted. Coinage of this period reflects an administration perpetually short of silver, and the thin fabric of this denier is no accident.
The Fifth Crusade drew Andrew to the Holy Land in 1217, making him one of the few Hungarian kings to personally lead a crusading army. He returned having accomplished little militarily but having spent enormously.
