| Obverse description | Frontal effigy of King Andrew II in high relief, depicted crowned and robed, holding a sword in one hand and a cross in the other. The crude, bold workmanship is characteristic of early 13th-century Hungarian hammered coinage, with the royal regalia rendered in a stylized, non-naturalistic manner. The figure occupies the central field of the flan, which is irregularly shaped due to the hand-striking process. |

| Reverse description | Stylized representation of a church facade flanked by two towers, with a cross prominently displayed on the central structure. Below the church facade, a cross, a hoop, and a horizontal line are depicted, serving as secondary decorative or symbolic elements within the field. The design is rendered in the primitive, schematic style typical of Árpád-dynasty Hungarian deniers, with bold relief and minimal fine detail. |
