| Obverse description | Frontal effigy of King Andrew II standing, depicted in regal attire, holding an orb in the left hand and a scepter in the right hand. The figure is rendered in a stylized, flat relief characteristic of early 13th-century Hungarian hammered coinage. A circular legend surrounds the royal figure in the field, though the inscription is poorly preserved on most specimens due to the irregular flan and worn dies. |

| Reverse description | A prominent six-spoke wheel occupies the center of the reverse, with a raised pellet at the hub. Each of the six compartments formed between the spokes contains a small star or pellet motif, giving the design a radiate, symmetrical character. The entire device is enclosed within a beaded or plain inner circle, itself set against a flat, unadorned field. The composition is typical of the decorative, non-portrait reverse types employed on Hungarian deniers of the Árpád dynasty period. |
