Aversbeschreibung A large cross of András (apostolic double cross) type displayed within a shield-shaped frame occupies the central field, with the arms of the cross terminating in decorative pellets or wedge-shaped finials. Foliate or branch-like ornaments flank the shield on either side. The legend B ELA REX is disposed around the design, identifying the issuing monarch. The overall composition is characteristic of the crude, hand-struck style of 12th-century Hungarian bracteate-influenced deniers. The surface shows the irregular flan typical of hammered medieval coinage.

Reversbeschreibung At the center of the reverse, a rosette motif is enclosed within an inner pearl circle. The annular zone between the inner pearl circle and the outer border is decorated with alternating rosettes and small circles arranged in a repeating pattern. The design is entirely ornamental, with no legend present. The beaded inner and outer borders frame the composition in a style consistent with Hungarian royal deniers of the late 12th century. The striking is characteristic of hammered medieval coinage, with some weakness and irregularity across the flan.

Zusätzliche Informationen

Béla IV is best known for rebuilding Hungary after the Mongol devastation of 1241–42, but this denier dates to a far earlier and less examined phase of his dynasty — the reign of Béla III, whose rule marked Hungary's deepest integration into Byzantine administrative culture following his years at the Constantinople court. The thin, bracteate-influenced fabric of these small deniers reflects that transitional monetary moment, when Western European coin conventions were being absorbed unevenly across the Hungarian kingdom.

The H#71 attribution places this squarely in Réthy's foundational corpus, cross-referenced by the EK and CAC catalogues with only minor die classification differences between them.
