| Obverse description | Within a plain inner circle set against an irregularly shaped hammered flan, a crowned shield bearing the arms of Transylvania: the upper half displays an eagle displayed, while the lower half features a crescent moon accompanied by a star. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown. No legend is present, the design occupying the full field of the coin. |

| Reverse description | Within a plain inner circle on a crudely hammered, polyhedral flan, the conjoined monogram BA (for Barcsai Akos, Prince of Transylvania) rendered in an interlaced Gothic style occupies the central field. The letters are boldly struck with no surrounding legend, the plain field emphasizing the issuer's initials. |
