| Obverse description | Central field bears the quartered Hungarian royal shield, displaying alternating horizontal barry stripes and the patriarchal double cross on a mount, surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is set within a linear circle, with a circular Latin legend running along the coin's periphery. The die-struck design is characteristic of hammered coinage of the period, with slightly irregular flan edges. |

| Reverse description | A crowned enthroned figure, interpreted as the Madonna (Patrona Hungariae), shown facing frontally in long robes with arms extended, occupying the majority of the central field. The image is rendered in a stylized, medieval manner typical of hammered Transylvanian deniers of the early seventeenth century. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device along the coin's periphery. |
