| Reverse description | A patriarchal double cross rises from the base of the field, its shaft flanked at the foot by two confronted crowned royal heads facing one another in profile. Mintmark devices appear in the upper lateral fields to either side of the cross arms: a star with a central pellet to the left and a crescent with a central pellet to the right, identifying the double lily mintmark variety. The entire device is contained within a beaded circle and an outer milled border. |

| Additional information |
Béla IV's Slavonian deniers were issued under the authority of the Ban of Slavonia, a regional administrative arrangement that gave the province unusual monetary autonomy within the Hungarian kingdom. The type was produced continuously across Béla's long reign — a reign defined above all by the Mongol invasion of 1241–42, which devastated the Hungarian interior and forced Béla to flee to the Dalmatian coast. Slavonia, relatively less ravaged than the eastern Hungarian plains, remained a functioning administrative base during and after the crisis.
ÉH#3 is among the earliest catalogued types in Éremhatározó for this issuing authority.
