背面描述	Within a beaded inner circle, two stylized towers rise from an arched pediment or arcade, with a single star occupying the central field between the towers. The architectural motif is rendered in a simplified, abstracted manner typical of Árpád-dynasty hammered silver issues, with no surrounding legend. The irregular flan exhibits the characteristic uneven edges of hand-struck medieval Hungarian coinage.

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 expenditures and the concessions he was forced to make in the 1222 Golden Bull — Hungary's answer to Magna Carta, signed under baronial duress just seventeen years after John of England's. To raise revenue, Andrew farmed out minting rights and salt revenues to foreign lessees, including Muslim Ishmaelites and Jews, a practice that scandalized the Hungarian church and was explicitly condemned in the Golden Bull itself.
