| Obverse description | Central design enclosed within a beaded or plain inner circle, featuring a stylized cross or interlaced foliate motif. A horizontal line bisects the field, with decorative rim elements at each terminus. Above the horizontal line, a cross is flanked by a reversed letter S and a crescent; the design below the line mirrors the upper arrangement. The overall composition is characteristic of the crude, abstract hammered style prevalent in medieval Hungarian coinage of the twelfth century. |

| Reverse description | A horizontal line divides the field, accompanied by three pellets arranged along its length. Below the line, two concave crescents face each other and are joined at their tips by a central pellet, forming a symmetrical double-crescent motif. The design is rendered in the simplified, abstract style typical of hammered Hungarian deniers of the Árpád period, with an irregular flan and no surrounding legend. |
