| Obverse description | Central large cross with arms terminating in small crosses, surrounded by eight crescents arranged in pairs along the four diagonal axes between the cross arms, all within a beaded or plain border. The composition reflects the Byzantine-influenced decorative style typical of early Hungarian medieval coinage. |

| Reverse description | Plain cross with four globules, one in each angle of the cross, enclosed within an inner circle or ring, set against a flat field. The minimalist design is characteristic of Hungarian denars of the mid-twelfth century, struck by the hammered technique on an irregular flan. |
