| Reverse description | A crowned frontal figure, identified as the king, depicted in a highly schematic and primitive style, seated or standing astride an animal — likely a lion or horse — facing left. The royal figure wears a simplified crown and is rendered in bold, flat relief within a plain inner circle. No legend accompanies the design. This type of crude figurative representation is characteristic of Hungarian obols of the Árpád dynasty period under Béla IV. |
