Obverse description Within a beaded inner circle, the twofold Hungarian shield — comprising the Árpád dynastic stripes on the dexter side and the patriarchal double cross rising from a crowned triple hill on the sinister side — is displayed with a flat-topped outline. The shield divides the mintmark letters of the Kremnica mint (K–B), one to each side. The abbreviated royal and imperial titulature legend runs along the outer border in Latin capitals.

Reverse description Within a beaded inner circle, the Virgin Mary (Madonna) is depicted crowned and in glory, without a radiate nimbus, standing and cradling the Christ Child in her left arm. The date appears at the close of the surrounding Latin legend, which invokes the Madonna as Patroness of Hungary. The composition reflects the Marian devotional tradition prominent on Hungarian coinage of the seventeenth century.
