Obverse description A patriarchal (double-barred) cross rises from a triple-mound base at center, with the mintmark flanking the hills in the lower field. The cross divides the inner field into four quarters, each bearing a heraldic shield. The circumferential Latin legend is enclosed between two concentric beaded borders, rendered in the characteristic Gothic lettering of fifteenth-century Hungarian royal coinage.

Reverse description Saint László (Ladislaus), the canonized king of Hungary, is depicted full-length in frontal stance at center, crowned and robed in royal vestments. He holds an orb or globus cruciger in one hand and a battle-axe or sceptre in the other, consistent with his traditional royal-saint iconography on Hungarian medieval coinage. The figure stands within a beaded inner circle, with the circumferential Latin legend running between two concentric beaded borders. The hammered flan exhibits characteristic medieval irregularity.
