Obverse description Central field occupied by a patriarchal (double) cross with a globule at the intersection of the arms and additional pellets distributed symmetrically in the quarters. The cross is rendered in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style typical of Angevin-era Hungarian municipal issues. A circular legend surrounds the central device, contained within the coin's irregular flan.

Reverse description A ram (aries) depicted in left profile, shown in a recumbent or striding posture with pronounced ribbed fleece rendered through parallel incised lines across the body. The head is turned to face left, with visible horn and facial features. The figure is boldly struck and occupies the majority of the reverse field, with no surrounding legend. The style is characteristic of the Angevin period municipal coinage of Buda, the ram serving as the city's heraldic symbol.
