| Additional information |
Charles Robert of Anjou spent the first decade of his Hungarian reign fighting to assert control over a nobility that had effectively parceled out the kingdom among themselves following the extinction of the Árpád dynasty in 1301. By the 1330s, with that consolidation finally secured, his administration undertook serious monetary reform — reducing the silver content of small deniers while increasing minting volume to fund an ambitious foreign policy that included military pressure on Serbia and commercial rivalry with Venice over Dalmatian trade routes.
The multiple catalog references reflect genuine scholarly disagreement over die classification within this type, with Engel's corpus and the Anjou series attributing subtly different emission sequences to the same general issue.
