Additional information

Solomon's reign was defined almost entirely by dynastic conflict — he held the Hungarian throne only with German imperial backing, facing constant pressure from his cousins Géza and László, who eventually drove him out entirely. Mule strikes from this reign typically result from deliberate or accidental pairing of dies intended for separate issues, and the references here spanning both ÉH#9/H#15 and ÉH#11/H#16 confirm this is a hybrid of two distinct types. Given the political instability and the likelihood of hurried, poorly supervised mint operations during Solomon's contested rule, such anomalies are entirely plausible as products of the period rather than later fabrications.
