| Obverse description | Armored bust of Mihály Apafi (Michael Apafi I) facing right, depicted in elaborate plate armor adorned with decorative studs and a lion-head pauldron, wearing a plumed helmet. The effigy occupies the majority of the field, rendered in high relief in the late Renaissance Transylvanian style. A circular beaded inner border frames the design, with the Latin legend distributed around the periphery reading MICHA APAFI D G PR TR. The portrait conveys the authority and martial character of the ruling prince. |
