| Beschrijving voorzijde | Frontal bust of King Solomon depicted in a crude, stylized manner characteristic of early Hungarian hammered coinage, wearing a crown and holding regalia. The figure is rendered in high relief with angular, archaic features typical of 11th-century Hungarian die-cutting. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central bust within the coin's irregular flan. The design conveys regal authority within the artistic conventions of the Árpád dynasty period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Solomon came to the Hungarian throne as a child king under complicated circumstances — his father Andrew I had actually crowned him co-ruler in 1057 specifically to sideline the claims of his brother Béla, a dynastic maneuver that triggered open civil war. Béla seized power in 1060, and Solomon only recovered the throne in 1063 with direct military backing from his brother-in-law, the German king Henry IV. His reign never fully stabilized; Béla's sons Géza and László continually contested his rule until forcing him from power in 1074.
The denier coinage of this reign is catalogued across multiple reference systems with slight numbering discrepancies, reflecting ongoing scholarly disagreement about die sequencing within the type.
