| Obverse description | Frontal bust of the king depicted in a crude, stylized manner within a linear circle, the ruler shown facing, wearing a crown with pendilia, holding a sceptre diagonally across the body in the left field; the effigy is rendered in the bold, simplified Romanesque style typical of early 13th-century Hungarian hammered coinage, with no legend present. |

| Reverse description | Two stylized towers or turrets flanking a central architectural element consisting of a domed or arched decorative motif rising from a stepped base, all rendered in a highly schematic Romanesque style; the composition fills the field without a surrounding legend, characteristic of the anonymous hammered deniers of the Árpád dynasty period. |
