| Reverse description | A plain cross with straight arms occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with four wedge-shaped ornaments filling each quadrant between the cross arms. The annular field between the inner beaded circle and the outer pearl border is decorated with evenly spaced radial lines, a recurring motif on Hungarian deniers of the early Árpád period. The design is struck in the characteristically irregular hammered style of medieval Hungarian coinage, with a flat, unmodeled relief typical of the reign of Béla II. |
