| Obverse description | A large central cross divides the field into four quadrants, each containing one letter of the royal name — N, E, R arranged around the intersection, separated by small crosses at the terminals. The letters are rendered in a bold, archaic Romanesque style characteristic of early medieval Hungarian hammered coinage. A beaded inner border frames the design, with a further dentilated outer rim. The composition reflects the monogram-cross type common to the Árpád dynasty deniers of the late 12th and early 13th centuries. |

| Reverse description | A small central cross occupies the middle of the field, surrounded by four outward-pointing crescents alternating with four pellets, all contained within a beaded inner circle. This crescent-and-pellet motif is a hallmark of Árpád-era Hungarian bracteate-influenced deniers, conveying both decorative and symbolic intent. The surrounding field is plain, bounded by a dentilated outer border consistent with the hammered technique. The overall design is symmetrical and typical of the anonymous minor coinage issued under King Emeric (Imre) of Hungary. |
