| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a central cross whose arms are joined by curved lines forming a closed design, flanked by four small crosses in the cardinal positions and four outward-facing crescents in the diagonal fields. The composition is rendered in a primitive Romanesque hammered style characteristic of medieval Hungarian bracteat-influenced deniers. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a stylized letter A occupies the central field, surrounded by five pellets (dots) evenly distributed around it. The design is stark and schematic, typical of the simplified reverse motifs employed on Hungarian deniers of the twelfth century. |
