Two different coins or just one and the same coin from the 13th century?

Some time ago I have obtained a coin, which was identified as Cach 896, denar of Vladislaus III of Moravian Margraviate. This coin has its site on Numista (see N#91553 ), and it is described in literature. But today by chance (when I was trying to identify a different coin, probably a kind of Hungarian denar from the 12th or early 13th century) I came across a denár of Andrew II. of Hungary, which looks like denar of Vladislaus III. (see N#72437 ) I am not expert on this period but it is quite possible that Andrew's denárs were massively imported into Moravia from neighbouring Hungary and circulated there, and I can imagine that during reign of Vladislaus these coins were minted in the Margraviate according to the Hungarian pattern but I am not sure how can I distinguish denar of Vladislaus from the denár of Andrew II.

Certainly those are the same coin.

 

As you say, one possibility is that the coin is listed in the catalog of both places for the reason you mention.

 

The other possibility is that we have a mistake in Numista, and one set of photos is wong (yes, it happens).  

 

I don't have any catalogs for this part of the world, but I was able to find this coin attributed as the Moravia type:  https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=8076037 ;

Thanks for your reaction. Btw, I have got from my friend a photo with drawings of Cach 896 and two other denars of Vladislaus III (Cach 895 and Cach 897) from Cach's catalogue. I am reposting it here, as I have noticed that there is no picture of Cach 897 on its page here.
