| Obverse description | Central field displays a quartered heraldic shield bearing the arms of the Angevin dynasty: the dexter half divided horizontally with horizontal bars (stripes of Hungary) in the upper portion and three fleurs-de-lis arranged in the lower half, while the sinister half mirrors this arrangement. The shield is depicted in high relief with crisp Gothic rendering. A circular Latin legend surrounds the shield, reading '+ KAROLVS · PMVS REX HVNGARIE', identifying the issuer as Charles I (Robert) of Hungary. The lettering is executed in Gothic majuscules typical of early 14th-century Hungarian royal coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts an armored knight on horseback in dynamic rightward motion, rendered in the characteristic Gothic style of Angevin Hungarian coinage. The mounted figure carries a lance or scepter raised aloft, with the horse shown at full gallop with detailed mane and legs. The composition fills the entire flan, with the irregular hammered edge characteristic of early 14th-century Hungarian deniers. No visible legend is present on the reverse, the design relying entirely on the equestrian motif as a royal and dynastic emblem. |
