Obverse description Central field displays the uncrowned twofold Hungarian coat of arms — combining the Árpád stripes and the patriarchal cross — flanked by the KB mint mark of Kremnica. The heraldic shield is rendered in relief within a pearl border, with the royal legend encircling the design. The inscription in Latin abbreviation runs continuously around the pearl circle, identifying the sovereign by his full imperial and royal titles.

Reverse description The reverse depicts the crowned and glorified Madonna — Patrona Hungariae — shown facing, holding the Christ Child on her left arm. The figure of the Virgin breaks through the inner pearl circle, lending the composition a sense of vertical dynamism. The date appears at the end of the circumferential Latin legend, which identifies the Madonna as the protector of Hungary. The design follows the established Marian devotional type standard to Hungarian coinage of the period.
