背面描述	Central field bearing a plain cross with flared, slightly splayed arms, enclosed within a single raised circular inner border. Four pellets are placed one in each quarter between the arms of the cross, a typical motif on Árpád-dynasty Hungarian deniers. The composition is simple and unadorned, with no legend or additional devices. The flan is irregular and broader than the die, with characteristic hammered fabric. The low-relief design reflects the aniconic, cross-dominated style prevalent in twelfth-century Hungarian coinage.

附加信息	Stephen III came to power at roughly fifteen years old, immediately contested by two Hungarian uncles — László II and Stephen IV — both backed at different moments by Byzantine emperor Manuel I Komnenos, who saw dynastic instability in Hungary as leverage for Balkan expansion. The decade-long reign was consequently fractured, and mint output reflects it: deniers attributable to Stephen III circulate among types also claimed by his rivals, and the reference literature still carries unresolved attributions across the László II and Stephen IV series.
