Additional information

Géza II's reign coincided with sustained Byzantine pressure from Manuel I Komnenos, who invaded Hungary repeatedly and briefly occupied parts of the kingdom in the 1150s. Emergency and reduced-weight coinage was a documented consequence of these military demands on the royal treasury — the extreme lightness of this denier is not accidental.
