背面描述	A prominent six-spoke wheel occupies the center of the reverse, with a raised pellet at the hub. Each of the six compartments formed between the spokes contains a small star or pellet motif, giving the design a radiate, symmetrical character. The entire device is enclosed within a beaded or plain inner circle, itself set against a flat, unadorned field. The composition is typical of the decorative, non-portrait reverse types employed on Hungarian deniers of the Árpád dynasty period.

附加信息	Andrew II's reign was defined less by monetary policy than by the chronic financial desperation that drove it. To fund his disastrous Fifth Crusade campaign of 1217–1221 and the enormous costs of his court, Andrew systematically farmed out mint rights, salt revenues, and tax collection to wealthy Jewish and Muslim lessees — a practice that enraged the Hungarian nobility and clergy alike and ultimately forced his hand on the Golden Bull of 1222, Hungary's rough equivalent of Magna Carta. The coinage suffered accordingly, debased and irregularly produced across a decentralized minting apparatus.
