| Obverse description | A warrior figure depicted in dynamic combat with a panther, rendered in low relief in the Romanesque style typical of early Árpád-dynasty coinage. The man is shown grappling with the beast, which rears up against him, filling the irregular flan. No legend or inscription is present; the design occupies the entire field. The striking is characteristic of hammered medieval Hungarian deniers, with bold but somewhat crude die work. |

| Reverse description | A patriarchal double cross — the apostolic cross of the Hungarian kingdom — occupies the central field, its arms boldly rendered in relief. Surrounding the cross is a circular border composed of arcs and stylised leaf or pellet motifs, a decorative device common to Árpád-dynasty coinage of the early thirteenth century. The field is otherwise plain, and no legend is present. The design is executed in the Romanesque hammered tradition, with the border ornament serving as the principal decorative frame. |
