| Reverse description | A double cross with raised rim dominates the central field, its arms terminating in stylized birds. Beneath the crossbar, two crowned heads face each other in profile, a characteristic Angevin device. A star appears in the upper left canton and a crescent with a dot occupies the upper right canton, all within a beaded inner circle. |

| Additional information |
Charles Robert of Anjou spent his first decade as king of Hungary consolidating power against rebellious oligarchs who had effectively partitioned the kingdom. The small silver deniers struck from around 1323 onward coincide directly with his administrative reorganization following that victory — a reformed coinage was part of a deliberate reassertion of royal authority over minting, which had been fragmented among noble families for years.
The Angevin monetary reforms of this period introduced new mint chambers operating under royal supervision, a system borrowed partly from Neapolitan practice.
