Denier - Béla II

Béla II came to power blinded — literally. As a child, he and his father Álmos were captured by King Kálmán, who had both of them blinded and Béla's father castrated to eliminate them as dynastic rivals. That Béla later ruled at all was a minor political miracle, and his reign was shaped by the trauma of its origins: his queen, Helena of Raška, effectively governed alongside him, and it was she who presided over the 1132 diet at Arad where scores of nobles implicated in the blinding were executed.

The multiple Huszár references reflect genuine die variation across the decade-long reign rather than distinct issue types.
