| Obverse description | Frontal crowned bust of King Stephen V, depicted in a highly stylized, primitive hammered manner characteristic of 13th-century Hungarian bracteate-influenced coinage. The king is shown wearing a crown and appears in a square-framed composition, with both arms raised and hands elevated to either side of the body. The facial features are rendered schematically within the field, and a decorative element is visible at the center of the chest. The design occupies the full flan of this irregularly shaped klippe planchet. |

| Reverse description | Central square frame set diagonally within the field, enclosing two confronted birds facing each other with a Hebrew letter Aleph (א) between them, a motif associated with Jewish mint masters active in medieval Hungary. The surrounding area bears the Latin royal legend REX STEPHANVS (King István), disposed around the central device. The design is characteristic of the mid-13th-century Hungarian denár tradition reflecting multicultural administrative influences. The flan shows the typical irregular, pinched klippe form with rough edges consistent with hammered production. |
