Obverse description Two large crowned royal heads facing one another in profile, their crowns nearly touching at center. A crescent, a small circle, and a star are positioned above the heads in the upper field. The design is rendered in a bold, archaic medieval style typical of early Hungarian hammered coinage, with no surrounding legend.

Reverse description Two heraldic shields flanking a central architectural element depicted as a crenellated bastion or tower. A double cross rises between the shields, and a star appears above the central structure; two circular hoops or annulets are present in the lower field. The composition is symmetrical, executed in the stylized, flat relief characteristic of 13th-century Hungarian bracteate-influenced deniers.
