Descrizione del rovescio	A small central cross with four pellets arranged in the quarters of an inner beaded circle, with no outer circle present. The cross arms are plain and compact, with the four dots evenly distributed in the interstitial spaces. The field beyond the inner circle is plain and unadorned, bounded only by the raised rim of the flan. No legend or inscription is present. The design is characteristically simple and geometric, consistent with mid-twelfth-century Hungarian denier coinage.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Géza II ruled during one of medieval Hungary's most turbulent periods of external interference, fighting off repeated attempts by Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos to install rival claimants — including Géza's own brothers Boris and later Ladislaus — on the Árpád throne. The denier series of his reign is catalogued across multiple die combinations in the Corpus Nummorum Hungariae, and individual specimens can often be assigned to earlier or later phases of the reign based on die linkage studies.
