| Obverse description | Central cross with beaded rim, the arms of the cross flanked by four pellets positioned between the quadrants, without an inner circle. The legend reads °S° MARCVS+ (Saint Mark) arranged around the cross in the field, rendered in bold majuscule Latin lettering. The design is characteristic of Hungarian hammered medieval coinage, with the cross as the dominant motif filling the coin's face. |

| Reverse description | Central cross with beaded rim, the lower arm terminating in a double crescent and the upper arm surmounted by an isolated circle; two pellets are placed within the inner beaded circle flanking the cross shaft. The composition follows the typical Byzantine-influenced Hungarian denier style of the late 12th century, with the decorative crescents and circle serving as distinguishing variety markers. |
