背面描述	Central fortified bastion or tower motif flanked by sloping walls extending to either side, evoking a schematic architectural facade. Above the central tower, a cross is depicted between two rosettes, all within a plain circular border. The composition is characteristic of the symbolic fortress imagery used on Árpád-dynasty Hungarian deniers and obols, rendered in the crude hammered style typical of the reign of Andrew II (1205–1235).

附加信息	Andrew II's reign was defined less by monetary policy than by the chronic financial desperation that followed his disastrous Fifth Crusade campaign and the ruinous land grants of the so-called "Golden Bull" period — by 1222 the nobility had forced from him a charter limiting royal authority precisely because he had spent the treasury into collapse. Small silver fractions like this obol were debased progressively across his reign as the crown leased minting rights to private contractors, a practice Andrew relied on heavily to generate short-term revenue at the cost of coinage integrity.
