| Obverse description | Two angels flank and support the elaborately ornamented and crowned Hungarian coat of arms, the whole enclosed within a wreath. The arms display the traditional Hungarian quartered shield with the Árpád stripes and the apostolic double cross. A continuous Latin legend encircles the design, citing the full royal and imperial titles of Maria Theresa. |

| Reverse description | The enthroned, radiant, and crowned Madonna is depicted facing, holding the Christ Child on her left arm; she carries an orb in her left hand and a scepter in her right, and is seated upon a crescent. Below the figure, the twofold-crowned Hungarian coat of arms divides the mintmaster's initials, with the date and additional lettering appearing above in the field. The composition follows the established Patrona Hungariae iconographic tradition. |
