| Obverse description | Within a plain inner circle, a patriarchal (double-barred) cross occupies the central field, flanked on either side by a pellet. The composition is austere and symmetrical, rendered in the rough, low-relief style characteristic of Hungarian hammered bracteate-influenced deniers of the twelfth century. The broad, flat flan shows typical irregular margins and surface texture of the period. No legend is present. |

| Reverse description | A patriarchal double cross with two pellets in the inner circle, enclosed within a plain raised border. The design is bold and centrally placed on the flan, executed in low relief consistent with twelfth-century Hungarian hammered coinage. The cross arms are well-defined, with the shorter upper crossbar clearly distinguished from the longer lower one. No inscription or legend surrounds the motif. |
