| Obverse description | Central large cross with arms terminating in smaller crosses, with H-shaped lines flanking a central star in the crossing. Four crescents and four smaller crosses are disposed alternately in the angles of the main cross. The overall design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, typical of the Árpád-dynasty hammered coinage style. |

| Reverse description | A small central cross with a pellet at the tip of each arm, surrounded by four inward-facing crescents positioned in the angles between the cross arms. The design is set within a plain inner circle, rendered in the simple, stylized manner characteristic of Hungarian medieval bracteate-influenced deniers of the twelfth century. |
