| Additional information |
Charles Robert of Anjou spent much of his reign standardizing Hungarian coinage after decades of monetary disorder under the Árpáds and their successors. His deniers of 1336–1337 fall within the period following his sweeping monetary reform of 1323, which abolished the unpopular annual re-coinage system that had effectively taxed holders of old coin each year. That reform consolidated minting authority and stabilized the silver content of small denominations for the first time in generations.
The ÉH#391 attribution places this piece among the later issues of his reign, within two years of his death in 1342.
