The Virgin wears a crown and flowing robes rendered in the late medieval style characteristic of Transylvanian ducats. A heraldic shield appears at the base of the central device, flanked by decorative rosettes. The surrounding Latin legend reads SIGISMVND * * BATHORI • * N B, identifying the issuer and the Nagybánya (NB) mint. |
