| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a tall vertical cross with a horizontal bar, dividing the design into four quadrants. The letter 'B' appears prominently in the upper right quadrant, flanked by additional letters of the royal name BELA arranged around the cross arms. Two rampant or confronted lion figures occupy the lateral quadrants, rendered in a crude but vigorous Romanesque style characteristic of late 12th-century Hungarian coinage. The composition is tightly confined within an irregular flan, with the hammered technique producing slightly uneven relief across the field. |
