| Obverse description | Central vertical pearl pillar surmounted by three orbs at the top, center, and bottom, flanked on each side by a curved arc terminating in orbs at both ends. Two crosses appear to either side of the central pillar, with wedge-shaped devices arranged at the upper and lower portions of the field. The overall composition is geometrically stylized in the Romanesque tradition characteristic of early Hungarian coinage. |
