Denier - Stephen V

Stephen V ruled for just two years before dying at age twenty-eight, his reign bookended by conflict with his own father, Béla IV, whose western-leaning policies Stephen had openly opposed from his stronghold in Transylvania. The civil war between them in 1264–1265 effectively split Hungary into two competing monetary zones, each issuing coinage independently — making attribution of deniers from this transitional period genuinely complicated.

The short reign and disrupted mint output keep surviving examples scarcer than the catalog references alone suggest.
