| Obverse description | A plain isosceles cross occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner ring. Four wedge-shaped ornaments fill the quadrants between the arms of the cross. The circumferential legend reads + REX SAMVHEL, identifying the issuer as King Samuel, rendered in crude hammered Latin characters. The outer border is defined by a beaded or pearl ring, consistent with early medieval Hungarian coinage style. |

| Reverse description | A plain isosceles cross is centered within a raised ring, with four wedge-shaped ornaments placed in the angles between the cross arms, mirroring the obverse composition. The circumferential legend + PANONEIA, a latinized reference to Pannonia, the historical name for the Hungarian region, runs around the periphery in hammered Latin lettering. The overall design reflects the crude but characteristic die-cutting style of the earliest Hungarian royal coinage. The outer edge is defined by a beaded border. |
