| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a bold double-barred cross with a beaded horizontal arm, the four quadrants each containing the letter H in relief, rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner. Small cross pattée terminals ornament the ends of each arm of the main cross. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, itself surrounded by a rope or cable outer border characteristic of medieval Hungarian hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | Plain, slightly convex field bearing a central circular inner ring enclosing an abstract floral or foliate device, consisting of a symmetrical trifoliate or lily-like motif with bifurcated upper elements and curling lower tendrils, typical of 12th-century Hungarian decorative coinage. The surrounding field is plain and unlettered, with the characteristic irregular flan edges of hammered medieval silver. |
