| Obverse description | Central field features two elongated parallel pillars flanked by two shorter pillars, the whole enclosed within an arrangement of six arcs and four crosses. A single pellet and two small crosses occupy the central area between the pillars. The design is executed in the flat, schematic style characteristic of early Árpád-dynasty hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | A plain cross divides the central field into four quarters, each containing a single pellet, all contained within an inner circle. The annular zone between the inner and outer circles is decorated with a repeating pattern of radial lines, pellets, and crescents, a common ornamental device on Hungarian deniers of the Árpád period. |
