Descrizione del rovescio	An isosceles cross with equal arms extending to a central ring, dividing the field into four quadrants, each filled with triangular wedge or arrow-head ornaments pointing toward the cross. The legend encircles the design within a beaded border. The composition is characteristic of early Hungarian royal deniers inspired by Carolingian and Ottonian monetary traditions.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Solomon came to the Hungarian throne as a child king through a treaty arrangement with the Holy Roman Empire, his reign defined almost entirely by dynastic conflict with his Árpád cousins Géza and László. The deniers struck in his name were produced during a period of near-constant civil war, the realm effectively partitioned at points between competing claimants. Coinage was a political instrument as much as anything — asserting authority over territories that kept changing hands. Surviving examples tend toward irregular flans, a consequence of workshop conditions during an unstable reign rather than any specific die failure.
