| Obverse description | The obverse bears the royal name and title of King László (Ladislaus IV) arranged in four divided horizontal lines across the field in an abbreviated retrograde or divided legend format, characteristic of medieval Hungarian hammered deniers. The inscription, reading M·R EGIL ADIZ LAI, is a contracted rendering of 'Magnus Rex Ladizlai' or similar royal titulature. The lettering is rendered in a bold, archaic Gothic style typical of late 13th-century Hungarian coinage. The coin's irregular flan and uneven strike reflect standard hammered production of the Árpád-era royal mint. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a central architectural motif of a pillar flanked by two rounded arches, beneath each of which appears a crowned royal head facing forward, representing the king. Above the pillar, a cross is displayed within a crowned shield, flanked on either side by a star, all set within an unadorned circular field. The design is characteristic of the stylized architectural and heraldic reverse types employed on late Árpád dynasty Hungarian deniers. The execution is typical of hammered coinage with slightly uneven relief and an irregular flan edge. |
