| Obverse description | Architectural facade design featuring a central gate or tower flanked by two columns, each surmounted by a small seated or standing figure. The composition is highly stylized in the Romanesque tradition, with a stepped or arched gateway at the base center and decorative elements filling the field. The design is enclosed within a plain inner border, with no surrounding legend. The relief is low and the striking somewhat irregular, typical of early 13th-century Hungarian hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | Frontal facing bust of a king or bishop, depicted in a highly stylized and schematic manner characteristic of medieval Hungarian deniers. The figure appears enthroned or standing, with arms outstretched holding indistinct regalia such as a sceptre and orb or crozier. The rendering is crude and flat, with pellet details articulating the garments. The design fills the plain field within an incuse border, with no surrounding legend, consistent with the anonymous coinage of the reign of Andrew II. |
