| Obverse description | Central field features a Latin cross flanked by the letters A and O in the outer field, with three Omega-shaped crescents adorned with lines positioned above the cross. A small dot occupies the center of the cross. The design is characteristic of the crude hammered coinage of medieval Hungary, with the symbolic use of Alpha (A) and Omega (O) referencing Christian iconography. |
