| Beschrijving voorzijde | Standing frontal figure of a saint or king within a beaded inner circle, depicted in long robes and holding a sceptre or staff in the right hand and an orb at the lower left. The figure is rendered in the crude, flat style typical of early medieval Hungarian hammered coinage. The irregular flan shows characteristic distortion from the striking process. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised frontal facing head wearing a crown adorned with a row of pellets and pendant elements, rendered in a highly schematic manner. The facial features are indicated by simple lines and pellets suggesting eyes and a mouth. The field is populated by small pellets or annulets arranged symmetrically around the central effigy, a design convention common to Árpád-dynasty bracteate-influenced deniers and obols of the early 13th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Andrew II's reign was defined less by monetary policy than by the 1222 Golden Bull — Hungary's answer to Magna Carta, wrested from him by rebellious nobles and clergy who had grown exhausted by his habit of alienating royal lands and revenues to favorites. The Crown's fiscal instability during these decades was chronic, and the small silver obol denominations of this period circulated under conditions of perpetual administrative improvisation.
CNA Cv32 is among the thinner, lighter fractional types of his long reign, a period during which minting rights were periodically farmed out to Jewish and Muslim revenue collectors — a practice the Golden Bull itself moved to prohibit.
