| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of Matthias II facing right, crowned with the Hungarian St. Stephen's Crown, wearing a ruffled collar and ornate mantle with decorative clasp visible at the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine detail in the robes and crown. A beaded inner circle frames the portrait, separating it from the surrounding Latin legend. The legend reads MATTHIAS II D G REX HVN DESIG IN REG BOHE, distributed around the circumference. |
