| Additional information |
Géza II's reign coincided with sustained pressure from Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos, who backed rival claimants to the Hungarian throne throughout the 1150s — a dynastic struggle that drained royal resources and almost certainly influenced the dramatic reduction in silver content and module seen across Hungarian deniers of this period. The multiple Huszár reference numbers reflect genuine die or type distinctions within the issue rather than cataloging redundancy.
