| Obverse description | A plain inner circle encloses an isosceles cross with wedge-shaped ornaments (cunei) filling each of the four angles between the arms. The surrounding field bears the royal legend separated by pellets. The design is characteristic of the crude hammered style of early Árpád-dynasty Hungarian coinage, with an irregularly shaped flan and bold, deeply struck lettering. |

| Reverse description | A plain inner circle encloses a second isosceles cross of similar form, with wedge-shaped ornaments (cunei) placed in the four angles between the cross arms, mirroring the obverse design. The surrounding field carries the territorial legend in bold Latin capitals. The strike is characteristically uneven, consistent with the hammered technique employed at the Árpád-era Hungarian royal mint. |
