Denier - Géza II

Géza II spent much of his reign navigating the competing pressures of Byzantine expansionism under Manuel I Komnenos and dynastic infighting from his own uncles, both of whom backed Byzantine-sponsored claimants to the Hungarian throne. The coinage issued under his name reflects a period when royal authority was contested enough that mint control itself carried political weight.

The multiple Huszár references — H#80 and H#81 catalogued as distinct types — point to die variation across the reign's two decades, a span long enough to produce meaningful typological drift in even the most controlled medieval minting operations.
