| Additional information |
Andrew III, the last of the Árpád dynasty, came to power in 1290 amid fierce baronial opposition and rival claimants backed by the papacy and Naples. His reign was a continuous struggle to hold the kingdom together against magnates who had effectively carved Hungary into private fiefdoms. The coinage reflects this instability — small, lightly struck issues produced under conditions far from centralized royal control.
With his death in 1301, the Árpád male line extinguished entirely, ending over three centuries of dynastic rule and opening Hungary to decades of Angevin succession disputes.
