| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a patriarchal double cross (cross of Lorraine) with two horizontal bars, the arms of which divide the field into quadrants, each containing a mintmaster's mark. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, reading the royal monetary attribution. The flan is irregular in shape, typical of hammered medieval coinage, with weak areas of strike consistent with hand-production methods of the period. |

| Additional information |
Ladislaus V — Ladislaus Posthumus — was literally unborn at the time of his father Albert II's death in 1439, leaving Hungary in a succession crisis that split the kingdom between his claim and that of the Polish Jagiellonian king Władysław III. These deniers were struck during the regency period, when Queen Elisabeth of Luxembourg had her infant son crowned with the actual Crown of Saint Stephen — hastily removed from its guardian by one of her ladies-in-waiting.
