Beschrijving voorzijde Central device consisting of a quartered shield combining the Árpád dynastic barry (horizontal stripes) on the dexter side with the Anjou fleurs-de-lis on the sinister side, the whole enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The circular legend surrounds the shield in the field. The hammered flan is irregular in shape, typical of the period.

Beschrijving keerzijde An ostrich, rendered in profile facing left, is depicted seated or crouching upon a nest of three eggs, the bird's long neck curving gracefully upward. The composition is set within a beaded inner circle, with the surrounding field plain. The imagery of the ostrich is associated with the heraldic badge of the Angevin dynasty of Hungary and reflects the artistic conventions of 14th-century Central European die-cutting.

Aanvullende informatie

Charles Robert of Anjou spent much of his reign rebuilding Hungary's monetary system after decades of debasement under the later Árpáds. His coinage reforms of the 1320s drew directly on Neapolitan and French Angevin precedents, and the small silver deniers issued through the 1330s reflect a deliberate push toward weight and fineness standardization. The royal chamber network he reorganized gave the crown tighter control over mint output than any Hungarian king had managed in at least a generation.

The tight weight specification on these pieces — maintained with unusual consistency across issues — is itself a product of that administrative overhaul.
