Frontal bust of King Solomon in regal attire, depicted in a hieratic Byzantine-influenced style with both arms raised and outstretched, each hand holding a sceptre or staff. The figure wears a crown with projecting points and is dressed in a draped royal garment. Two six-pointed stars flank the crowned head in the upper field. The Latin legend surrounding the effigy reads S ALOM ONIRE X, identifying the issuer as King Salamon of Hungary. |

| Descrição do reverso |
Central voided cross with a cross pattée at its head, inscribed within a beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four quarters each containing a wedge or pellet ornament. The design follows the standard Árpád-dynasty denier type with Pannonian imagery. The surrounding Latin legend +PANONAI references Pannonia, the Roman province encompassing the Hungarian kingdom's territory. The overall composition is characteristic of mid-11th-century Hungarian hammered coinage. |

Solomon's reign was defined almost entirely by dynastic conflict — he held the Hungarian throne only with German imperial backing, facing constant pressure from his cousins Géza and László, who eventually drove him out entirely. Mule strikes from this reign typically result from deliberate or accidental pairing of dies intended for separate issues, and the references here spanning both ÉH#9/H#15 and ÉH#11/H#16 confirm this is a hybrid of two distinct types. Given the political instability and the likelihood of hurried, poorly supervised mint operations during Solomon's contested rule, such anomalies are entirely plausible as products of the period rather than later fabrications.
