Andrew II (of Jerusalem) reigned in Hungary between 1205 and 1235.

Andrew was characterized by his ambition, which is why he constantly rebelled against the rule of his brother Imre. The period of his reign is still one of the most talked about periods in Hungarian history. He had an extremely strong foreign policy that extended all the way to the Balkans. His domestic policy was not weak either, as he created modern laws such as the publication of the Golden Bull of 1222, which remained in force until 1848.

He died in 1235. He was succeeded by his son, Béla IV.

II. András was almost always short of money, so he did everything he could to stabilize his rule and make the country strong. He created the position of storekeeper and collected customs and duties in money. II. Quite a variety of coins have survived from András's reign. This does not so much refer to multiple coinage, but rather to the fact that money was minted in several places in Hungary. They began to switch from the previous punching technique to the engraved technique. The punching technique on the beaters has different shapes – point, arrow, circular arc, lines of different lengths, etc. - the image of the medal was formed by punching in so-called punch pins. In the case of the engraved technique, the text and the image of the medal were created by engraving on the punches. This technique makes it possible to create detailed figures and faces, castles, birds, etc. have already become recognizable. With the spread of the engraved technique, sigla marks were also (slowly) pushed out of use. In all probability, money was minted less often than annually. II. András, they made good money throughout his reign. Instead of the previous 0.2-0.3 gram coins, the weight of the denarius was 0.5-0.8 grams and the silver content of the money was quite high (alloying was necessary due to wear). II. King András also minted half denarii worth half of the denarii, these were called obulus.
