| Obverse description | Central field features the quartered arms of Hungary and Transylvania within an ornate shield, incorporating the characteristic Hungarian horizontal bars and the Transylvanian eagle and sun motifs. The shield is surmounted by a small royal crown and flanked by decorative elements. A circular beaded inner border separates the shield from the outer legend. The peripheral legend reads GABRIEL D G P TRANSYLVANIÆ in Latin capitals, running clockwise around the coin's circumference. |
