| Additional information |
Géza II came to power as a child under the regency of his mother and uncle, and his reign was defined by near-constant dynastic interference — Byzantine pressure, rival claimants backed by Manuel I Komnenos, and repeated baronial fractures. These small silver pieces circulated through a kingdom that spent much of the 1150s as a battleground for competing succession claims, Géza repelling at least two Byzantine-supported pretenders to his throne.
The ÉH#65 attribution places this among the better-documented types of the period, though the CAC and EK cross-references reflect how heavily Hungarian denier typology still relies on competing classification systems that only partially overlap.
