Denier - Coloman

Obverse description	A bold cross with a vertical stem bearing small horizontal serifs or ticks divides the field into four quadrants, each containing a group of pellets. Dots are placed between the arms of the cross, and there is no inner circle framing the design. The peripheral legend is separated from the central motif by a beaded border. The overall style is characteristic of early Hungarian hammered coinage, with a somewhat irregular flan.

Additional information	Coloman — known in Hungarian as Könyves Kálmán, "Coloman the Bookish" — came to the throne in 1095 after the suspicious death of his brother Álmos's rival claim collapsed. His reign marked a decisive shift toward Western administrative models, including a more regularized coinage. These small deniers reflect the influence of contemporary Bavarian and Bohemian issues that were circulating across the Carpathian basin during his consolidation of royal authority. The multiple catalog references — ÉH, CNH, and CAC — each occasionally assign slightly different die groupings to this type, and attribution disputes between H#40 and adjacent numbers remain common in the specialist literature.
