| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a decorative cross with elongated vertical and horizontal arms, ornamented with pellets at the terminals and junction. Three vertical lines flanking the central cross shaft create a distinctive ladder-like motif, with additional pellet ornaments arranged symmetrically. The legend +CAL MAN is distributed around the periphery in crude Latin characters, referencing King Kálmán (Coloman). The coin is struck on an irregular flan typical of early Hungarian hammered coinage, with a beaded border encircling the design. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a large double ring or annulet enclosing a small cross, with additional linear and foliate ornaments filling the inner circle. The surrounding field is further decorated with wedge-shaped or arrow-like motifs radiating outward. The circumferential legend LADISLAVSE, referencing King László, is inscribed in crude Latin capitals around the outer border. The overall design is characteristic of the debased, abstract style of early Árpád-dynasty hammered silver deniers, struck on an irregular flan with a rope or beaded border. |
