表面の説明 Central device composed of a symmetrical interlaced foliate and crescent ornament, arranged around three small central pellets, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The ornamental band between the beaded circle and the outer plain circle is decorated with pairs of crescents and pellets alternating in a repeating pattern. The overall design is purely decorative, with no legend or inscription, executed in a bold, somewhat irregular hammered style typical of early Árpád-dynasty coinage.

裏面の説明 Three concentric circles form the primary design element of the reverse field, with a small stylized cross or floral motif visible at the center of the innermost circle. Between the outer and middle circles, faint letter-like or pellet elements are distributed at intervals around the ring, possibly vestigial or pseudo-inscription remnants rather than a legible legend. The entire composition is plain and unadorned beyond these concentric elements, consistent with the simplified reverse types characteristic of Béla II's coinage. The surface is flat and shows the typical broad, irregular flan of hammered medieval Hungarian deniers.

追加情報

Béla II, known as "the Blind," came to power after his eyes were put out on the orders of King Coloman in 1112 — a mutilation carried out when Béla was a child, intended to remove him as a dynastic threat. That he survived to rule at all is remarkable. His reign was marked by a brutal consolidation at the Arad assembly of 1132, where dozens of nobles implicated in supporting a rival claimant were executed on the spot.

Hungarian deniers of this period are among the thinnest struck anywhere in medieval Europe, a product of deliberate weight reduction across successive reigns rather than debasement in the conventional sense.
