    For those of you who know Medieval coins please ID this one for me, I understand it
    may be during the reign of:
    King Bela II (the Blind)
    Reign: Hungary & Croatia: 1131 - 1141 AD.
    I would like to know how the Obverse & reverse are described ,
    I can find many similar coins but not this exact one??

    Bella II
    Denar
    Obv.: Cross with pellet in each angle, surrounded by four crescents and four small crosses.
    Rev.: Cross with wedge in each angle, strokes instead of legend
    Frynas H.11.6

    Frynas also has a question mark next to the coin. Since there is no legend, there is no certainty it was minted under Bela II. There are a lot of anonymous denars from Hungary where this is the case
