| Obverse description | Frontal facing head (triple face) depicted in low relief at center, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The stylized royal visage features crude but expressive facial detail characteristic of mid-13th century Hungarian bracteate coinage. The surrounding field bears the royal legend in Latin, distributed around the inner pearl border. The overall design is executed in the typical rough, irregular manner of Árpád-era hammered silver deniers. |
