Obverse description Central cross of smaller proportions with crescents positioned between the arms in each quadrant, rendered in crude hammered style without an inner circle border. The legend +CALAMA runs around the periphery in Latin characters, referencing King Kálmán (Coloman). The overall design exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and rough workmanship typical of early Hungarian medieval coinage. The field between the cross arms is filled with crescent ornaments, lending the design a decorative quality consistent with the period.

Reverse description An isosceles cross occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded or lined inner circle border. The quadrants between the cross arms are filled with wedge-shaped ornaments, and the outer zone features further wedge devices in place of a conventional legend, resulting in a purely decorative pseudo-inscription. The hammered execution produces an irregular, slightly concave flan surface with the characteristic shallow relief of early Hungarian bracteate-influenced deniers. No legible lettering is present, the wedge elements serving as stylized fillers.
