| Beschrijving voorzijde | Square klippe flan struck in hammered silver. Within a beaded inner circle, the royal monogram of Béla IV rendered as an interlaced foliate or geometric device fills the central field, incorporating the letter B prominently at the top. The design is surrounded by a wreath-like decorative border composed of interlaced foliage or stylized plant motifs, all enclosed within the circular border. The legend BELA REX appears in the field. The irregular square flan extends beyond the circular design area, characteristic of klippe coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Béla IV's reign was defined almost entirely by the Mongol invasion of 1241–42, which devastated Hungary so thoroughly that contemporaries estimated half the kingdom's population perished. The irregular klippe format of this denier — a square-cut flan rather than a round one — almost certainly reflects disrupted mint infrastructure in the invasion's aftermath, when maintaining consistent round blanks was not always possible.
Béla spent his later decades rebuilding the kingdom, fortifying towns and reorganizing the coinage. Square-cut pieces from this reign turn up in hoards buried during the invasion years and never recovered.
