Denier - Coloman

Descrizione del dritto	A plain isosceles cross occupies the central field, enclosed within an inner pearl circle. A retrograde Latin legend encircles the design between the inner pearl circle and the outer beaded border. The lettering, rendered in a crude early medieval style characteristic of Hungarian hammered coinage, reads in retrograde. The overall striking is slightly irregular, consistent with hand-hammered production of the period.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Coloman — known in Hungarian as Könyves Kálmán, "the Bookish" — was an unusual figure for a medieval king: a cleric by training who seized the throne from his brother Álmos in 1095 and went on to conquer Croatia and Dalmatia by 1102. His reign also produced the earliest Hungarian legislation explicitly prohibiting witch trials, on the famously pragmatic grounds that witches do not exist. These deniers, struck across a reign of over two decades, represent some of the earliest systematically catalogued Hungarian royal coinage.
