| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized tower or castle flanked by smaller architectural elements, with a patriarchal double cross to the left and a mintmaster's mark to the right. A small pellet or annulet appears in the central field between the devices. The peripheral legend reads + KAROLVS REX in Gothic Latin lettering, interrupted by a small cross pattée at the top. The overall design is characteristic of the Angevin-period Hungarian denier, struck in a rough, irregular flan typical of hammered medieval coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central design features a bold double-barred (patriarchal) cross on a stepped base, occupying the majority of the field. A fleur-de-lis is positioned in the lower-left angle of the cross, referencing the Angevin dynastic emblem of Charles Robert. Small symbols or mintmaster's marks appear in the upper quadrants of the cross. The surrounding peripheral legend reads + S LADISLAVS R in Gothic Latin lettering, invoking Saint Ladislaus, patron saint of Hungary, a common feature on medieval Hungarian deniers of this period. |
