| Reverse description | A large cross pattée extending to the edge of the coin, intersected by a beaded inner circle creating four distinct quadrants. The letters A, N, R, and E are placed individually between the arms of the cross in each quadrant, spelling ANRE as an abbreviated form of András (Andrew). A variant exists without the pearl circle and with diamond ornaments between the arms of the cross. |

| Additional information |
Andrew III, the last of the Árpád dynasty, ruled under constant pressure from rival claimants backed by Naples and the papacy. His coinage reflects a reign spent defending a throne contested from the moment of his accession. The Árpád line's extinction at his death in 1301 triggered decades of Angevin succession conflicts that reshaped Central European politics entirely.
