| Obverse description | Central field features two vertical lines flanking a cross, with a pellet on either side of the cross. Flanking this central motif are additional crosses to the left and right. Above and below, three outward-facing crescents are arranged symmetrically, the central crescent of each group adorned with three pellets on its outer edge. The entire design is rendered in the flat, schematic style characteristic of Hungarian hammered medieval coinage. |

| Reverse description | A double cross — a standard heraldic cross potent or patriarchal cross form — occupies the central field, surrounded by scattered pellets in the field. The design is boldly struck in the simple, unlegended style typical of 12th-century Hungarian deniers, with no encircling legend or border. |
