| Obverse description | Small crowned royal head facing forward within a beaded inner circle, flanked by a decorative arrangement of semicircular arches each enclosing a star, rendered in the crude but expressive hammered style characteristic of early Angevin Hungarian coinage. |

| Additional information |
Charles Robert of Anjou spent the first decade of his reign fighting for the throne against rival claimants backed by the powerful Magyar barons, and his coinage reflects the monetary disorder of those years. These deniers were struck under conditions far from stable royal control, with multiple minting locations operating under baronial supervision rather than direct crown authority.
The ÉH#364 attribution places this squarely among the earliest consolidated Angevin issues once Charles Robert began reasserting central power after 1310.
