| 裏面の説明 | A bold cross at center, its arms terminating within a plain inner circle, with wedge-shaped or triangular ornaments filling the four quarters between the arms. The area between the inner circle and the outer beaded border is filled with radiating lines, creating a decorative band around the central cross motif. The overall design reflects the simplified, abstract style typical of early twelfth-century Hungarian deniers struck under Stephen II. |

Stephen II inherited the throne as a child following the death of his father Kálmán, and his reign was defined by near-constant warfare — against Byzantium, Bohemia, and domestic pretenders simultaneously. Coinage from this period reflects the administrative strain: the Hungarian denier progressively degraded in silver content across the first half of the twelfth century, and issues attributed to Stephen II are among the earliest examples of that decline.
The multiple catalog references here — ÉH, Huszár, EK, and CAC all weighing in — reflect genuine scholarly disagreement about die attribution and reign dating that has never been fully resolved.
