| Additional information |
Louis I inherited a kingdom already producing a well-established denier coinage from his father Charles I, who had rebuilt Hungarian monetary infrastructure from near-collapse following the chaos of the Árpád succession crisis. This particular type falls within the decade when Louis was simultaneously managing the kingdom's finances and pursuing his first Neapolitan campaign — the costly military intervention launched to avenge the murder of his brother Andrew in 1345.
The extremely low weight places this among the lightest silver issues of the Hungarian medieval series, a reduction that reflects ongoing pressure on the royal treasury during years of active campaigning.
