| Obverse description | Frontal bust of King Solomon depicted in a crude, stylized manner characteristic of early Hungarian hammered coinage, wearing a crown and holding regalia. The figure is rendered in high relief with angular, archaic features typical of 11th-century Hungarian die-cutting. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central bust within the coin's irregular flan. The design conveys regal authority within the artistic conventions of the Árpád dynasty period. |

| Reverse description | Central cross motif with a decorative cruciform or church-like architectural element at center, rendered in the primitive hammered style of Árpád-era Hungarian coinage. The cross divides the field into quadrants, each containing simple decorative elements. A circular Latin legend reading +PAИOИIA TERA encircles the design, referencing the Hungarian land. The overall composition is typical of 11th-century Central European ecclesiastical-influenced coinage, struck on an irregular flan with uneven surfaces. |
