| Obverse description | Central field divided by a plain cross into four quarters, with the Hungarian dynastic arms displayed in alternating quarters: the Árpád stripes occupying two quarters and the patriarchal double cross motif in the remaining two. The design is rendered in a primitive hammered style typical of late medieval Hungarian small silver coinage. Legends, if originally present, are largely illegible on account of the irregular flan and heavy wear. The coin's surface exhibits the characteristic grainy texture and uneven relief of mid-fifteenth-century Hungarian quarting coinage struck under Sigismund of Luxembourg. |
