| Reverse description | The reverse features the rampant Bohemian lion passant to the left, rendered in the angular Gothic heraldic style typical of mid-15th-century Hungarian deniers. The lion occupies the central field within a linear border, its crown and detailed musculature visible despite the coin's worn and irregular flan. The peripheral Latin legend, identifying the regent John Hunyadi as governor, runs clockwise and is separated from the inner design by a beaded or linear circle. |

| Additional information |
John Hunyadi governed Hungary as regent from 1446 to 1453, never himself holding the crown. These deniers were struck under his regency authority during a period when the young Ladislaus V remained effectively a ward of the Habsburgs — leaving Hunyadi to administer the kingdom and fund its defenses, including the campaigns against Ottoman expansion that would culminate in the relief of Belgrade in 1456.
H#630 is attributed specifically to the 1452 issue, the year Hunyadi's regency was formally concluding under pressure from the king's party.
