| Obverse description | Central field features a tall vertical pearl column flanked symmetrically by a sinuous S-form and its mirror image, the paired devices rendered in relief against a plain field. The composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a rope or cable border at the periphery. The overall design is characteristic of the abstract, non-figural decorative style prevalent in Hungarian royal coinage of the mid-twelfth century. |
