Reversbeschreibung	A plain isosceles cross is centered within a raised ring, with four wedge-shaped ornaments placed in the angles between the cross arms, mirroring the obverse composition. The circumferential legend + PANONEIA, a latinized reference to Pannonia, the historical name for the Hungarian region, runs around the periphery in hammered Latin lettering. The overall design reflects the crude but characteristic die-cutting style of the earliest Hungarian royal coinage. The outer edge is defined by a beaded border.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Samuel Aba seized the Hungarian throne in 1041 after ousting Peter Orseolo, himself a nephew of Stephen I. The reign lasted barely three years before Peter returned with German imperial backing — Henry III crossed the frontier in 1044 and crushed Aba's forces at the Battle of Ménfő. Aba was captured and executed shortly after, leaving this issue tied to one of the most turbulent succession crises in early Árpád history. Output from this reign is among the thinnest in the entire early Hungarian series by any measure of surviving volume.
