| Additional information |
Charles Robert of Anjou struck this tiny silver parvus early in his consolidation of the Hungarian throne — a process that took the better part of two decades after his first contested coronation in 1301. The denomination itself was imported from Western European monetary practice, reflecting Charles Robert's deliberate effort to align Hungarian coinage with Angevin and broader Latin monetary conventions after years of debased and fragmented royal issues under the late Árpád kings.
