| Obverse description | Central shield displaying the twofold arms of Transylvania and Hungary, divided vertically by a line flanked by the mintmaster's initials B and Z in the respective fields. The escutcheon is rendered in a simple heraldic style typical of early seventeenth-century hammered coinage. A circular beaded border encloses the central device, with the abbreviated Latin legend distributed around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | The Virgin Mary, crowned and seated, holding the Christ Child before her in the customary Patrona Hungariae composition. The figures are rendered in a compact, slightly crude style consistent with the small module and hammered technique of the issue. A beaded inner circle frames the central motif, with the abbreviated Latin legend running around the outer border referencing the Virgin as Patroness of Hungary. The date 1623 appears in the legend or field. |
