| Beschrijving voorzijde | Frontal bust of King Solomon depicted in a crude, stylized manner characteristic of early Hungarian hammered coinage, wearing a crown and holding regalia. The figure is rendered in high relief with angular, archaic features typical of 11th-century Hungarian die-cutting. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central bust within the coin's irregular flan. The design conveys regal authority within the artistic conventions of the Árpád dynasty period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central cross motif with a decorative cruciform or church-like architectural element at center, rendered in the primitive hammered style of Árpád-era Hungarian coinage. The cross divides the field into quadrants, each containing simple decorative elements. A circular Latin legend reading +PAИOИIA TERA encircles the design, referencing the Hungarian land. The overall composition is typical of 11th-century Central European ecclesiastical-influenced coinage, struck on an irregular flan with uneven surfaces. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Solomon came to the Hungarian throne as a child king under complicated circumstances — his father Andrew I had actually crowned him co-ruler in 1057 specifically to sideline the claims of his brother Béla, a dynastic maneuver that triggered open civil war. Béla seized power in 1060, and Solomon only recovered the throne in 1063 with direct military backing from his brother-in-law, the German king Henry IV. His reign never fully stabilized; Béla's sons Géza and László continually contested his rule until forcing him from power in 1074.
The denier coinage of this reign is catalogued across multiple reference systems with slight numbering discrepancies, reflecting ongoing scholarly disagreement about die sequencing within the type.
