Denier - Coloman

Beschrijving voorzijde	Within a double pearl border, four small crosses arranged symmetrically around a central pellet, forming the principal decorative motif of the field. A circular legend in Latin occupies the annular zone between the inner and outer pearl circles, reading +CALMAN RE in reference to King Kálmán. The overall design is characteristic of early Hungarian hammered coinage, with irregular flan and rough surfaces typical of the period.

Aanvullende informatie	Coloman — known in Hungarian as Könyves Kálmán, "the Bookish" — came to the throne in 1095 after his brother Álmos orchestrated the murder of the previous king, Géza I's son Ladislaus II, though Coloman ultimately outmaneuvered him politically. His reign coincided with the First Crusade passing directly through Hungarian territory, a logistical and diplomatic crisis he navigated by negotiating directly with Godfrey of Bouillon rather than allowing uncontrolled passage. The coinage of his reign is catalogued under multiple reference systems precisely because Hungarian medieval numismatics remained poorly systematized until the twentieth century.
