| Obverse description | Uncrowned armored bust of Gabriel Báthori (Gábor Báthori), Prince of Transylvania, facing right, with a short beard and flowing hair, wearing a ruffled collar and plate armor. A small six-pointed star appears in the upper left field. The bust is rendered in a somewhat crude but characterful hammered style typical of early seventeenth-century Transylvanian coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait, separated from the inner field by a beaded border. The coin exhibits the irregular flan typical of hand-struck production of this period. |
