Obverse description Facing crowned bust of King Charles Robert (Károly Róbert) with flowing curly hair rendered in a stylized medieval manner. The crown is depicted with prominent fleurs-de-lis or points above the brow. The mintmaster's letters R and K appear in the field to the left of the effigy. The flan is irregular and the relief is characteristic of early 14th-century Hungarian hammered coinage, with a beaded border visible along the rim.

Reverse description An eagle displayed with wings spread wide, shown in profile facing left, rendered in a bold, stylized medieval fashion characteristic of Angevin-period Hungarian deniers. The bird's head is turned with a hooked beak visible, and the talons are depicted gripping at the base. The design fills the flan with strong relief, surrounded by a beaded border. This eagle motif is associated with the Angevin dynastic symbolism of Charles Robert's reign.
