| Aversbeschreibung | Central field features six linear dots arranged between T-shaped double lines forming a geometric pattern. A double cross flanked by two dots occupies the upper portion of the design, while two rosettes adorn the lower field. The overall composition is characteristic of Hungarian bracteate coinage of the Árpád period, executed in a stark linear style with bold geometric elements pressed through a single thin silver flan. |

| Reversbeschreibung | As a single-sided bracteate struck from one die, the reverse presents the incuse negative impression of the obverse design, with the geometric double-line pattern, double cross, dots, and rosettes appearing in relief inversion. The thin silver flan transmits the full depth of the obverse punch, resulting in a mirror-image indentation characteristic of bracteate technique. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Béla IV's reign encompassed the Mongol invasion of 1241–42, which devastated Hungary so thoroughly that contemporaries estimated half the population perished. The economic disruption that followed forced a near-complete reorganization of the royal mint system, and the thin bracteate deniers of this period — struck on single-sided flans from a single die — reflect a currency under severe strain. These pieces circulated alongside a rapidly debased coinage as the kingdom rebuilt.
The bracteate technique itself was an import from German minting practice, adopted by the Hungarian royal chancery in the twelfth century. At 0.18 g, die-to-flan alignment is inherently imprecise, and partial strikes are the norm rather than the exception.
