Obol - IV. Béla

Béla IV's Slavonian obols were produced under the provincial banovac system, struck at the Zagreb mint under the authority of the Croatian-Slavonian ban. The series was introduced as part of a broader monetary reorganization following the catastrophic Mongol invasion of 1241–42, which devastated the Hungarian kingdom's administrative and economic infrastructure. Béla spent much of his remaining reign rebuilding, and regularizing provincial coinage was part of that effort.
