| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized patriarchal double cross mounted on a stepped base or orb, surrounded by a beaded inner circle. The legend +REX ANDREA runs along the outer border in Latin characters, identifying the issuer as King András (Andrew III). The die work is characteristic of late Árpád-dynasty hammered coinage, with somewhat irregular flan and bold, if crudely rendered, letterforms. The overall design is enclosed within a beaded outer ring, consistent with Hungarian deniers of the late 13th century. |

| Additional information |
Andrew III, the last of the Árpád dynasty, ruled a kingdom already fracturing under competing noble factions and papal interference in the succession. His death in 1301 without a male heir ended over three centuries of Árpád rule and triggered an interregnum that allowed the Angevins to claim the throne. These deniers were struck across an eleven-year reign in which royal authority was perpetually contested — Charles Martel of Anjou pressed his own claim from 1292 onward, backed by Boniface VIII.
