| Obverse description | Obverse heavily worn and poorly preserved, with design elements largely obscured by surface degradation consistent with extensive circulation. The type is associated with the Slavonian denier series issued under the authority of Ban Migh Bán as vassal of Károly Róbert (Charles I of Hungary), and would normally display a marten (the heraldic symbol of Slavonia) between two stars beneath a crescent, all within a circular legend. The surrounding Latin legend reads MONETA REGIS P SCLAVONIA, denoting the monetary authority of the King of Slavonia. The flan is irregular and characteristic of hammered medieval coinage of the early fourteenth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a double-barred patriarchal cross (crux gemina) at centre, its arms dividing the field into four quadrants, each containing a crowned head or decorative motif in relief, characteristic of the Slavonian denier type. A crescent appears in the upper right quadrant and additional heraldic ornaments are distributed among the remaining quadrants. The circular border is beaded or corded, and the peripheral Latin legend, partially visible on the irregular flan, frames the central composition. The mint mark initials B and M (Báni Migh), the latter reportedly mirrored, appear on the reverse field as the issuing authority's identifier. The overall style is consistent with the hammered coinage of the Angevin period in the Kingdom of Hungary. |
