| Obverse description | Central isosceles cross with arms terminating in small crosses, enclosed within an inner pearl circle. Small crosses fill the four quadrants between the main cross arms. The legend is arranged around the periphery, reading LAD ISL AVS REX, identifying the issuer as King László. The design is characteristic of the crude hammered style typical of late 11th-century Hungarian royal coinage. |

| Additional information |
Ladislaus I ruled Hungary at a pivotal moment for the young kingdom — he secured papal recognition, pushed the frontier into Croatia and Slavonia, and was eventually canonized in 1192, making him one of the few medieval kings whose coinage predates his own sainthood. His deniers are among the earliest datable Hungarian silver issues that can be attributed with reasonable confidence to a named ruler rather than to an anonymous regal type.
The multiple catalog references reflect decades of scholarly disagreement over sequencing within the early Árpád coinage, with Huszár and Corpus Nummorum Hungariae often diverging on die groupings.
