| Obverse description | Frontal bust of a crowned monarch within a beaded inner circle, depicted holding a sword in the right hand and a scepter in the left. The figure wears a crown and royal robes rendered in the crude but expressive hammered style characteristic of late Árpád-era Hungarian coinage. The legend REX ANDREAS runs around the periphery in Latin characters between the inner beaded circle and the outer border. |

| Additional information |
Andrew III, the last of the Árpád dynasty, came to the throne in 1290 facing immediate challenges to his legitimacy from rival Angevin claimants backed by the papacy. His reign was spent in near-continuous political struggle to maintain an independent Hungarian crown against Charles Martel of Naples and his supporters. When Andrew died without a male heir in January 1301, the Árpáds — who had ruled Hungary since the late ninth century — were extinguished entirely, and the Angevins took the throne within months.
