| Reverse description | A stylized walking lion passant facing left, rendered in a primitive, schematic manner typical of medieval Hungarian hammered coinage. The lion's body is depicted with hatched detailing suggesting a mane and musculature, with a curling tail raised above the back. The design occupies the central field and is surrounded by a beaded border. The overall execution reflects the characteristic crude artistry of late Árpád-era deniers. |

| Additional information |
Andrew III, the last of the Árpád dynasty, came to the throne in 1290 amid competing claims from the Angevins and a nobility that had grown accustomed to exploiting royal weakness. His coinage was issued under perpetual political pressure — the papacy backed Charles Martel of Anjou as the legitimate claimant throughout most of Andrew's reign, leaving the king in a constant struggle to assert authority he never fully consolidated. When Andrew died without a male heir in January 1301, the Árpád line ended after over three centuries, and the Angevins took the throne within months.
