| Reverse description | Central field depicts the enthroned Madonna (Patrona Hungariae), shown facing front, seated on a throne and wearing a crown, holding the infant Christ on her left arm. The figure is rendered in the late medieval hammered style typical of Hungarian ducats of this period. The encircling Latin legend PATRONA VNGARIE, separated by small ornamental stops, identifies the Virgin as the Patron of Hungary. Small floral or rosette ornaments appear within the legend. |
