| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of Mihály Apafi facing right, wearing ornate plate armor decorated with a prominent jeweled clasp and elaborate lace collar, with curled hair and a short beard. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the baroque style typical of late 17th-century Transylvanian coinage. The circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading from the lower left. A beaded inner border frames the entire design. |
