| Obverse description | Densely decorated field featuring an arrangement of multiple small cross pattée motifs distributed across the surface, interspersed with pellets and ornamental devices. A horizontal line of pellets bisects the design, creating an upper and lower register each populated with cruciform elements. The overall composition is characteristic of the anonymous Hungarian royal deniers of the mid-twelfth century, executed in the hammered style with bold, deeply struck relief. The coin is enclosed by a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Central design consisting of a geometric motif enclosed within a single raised circular line forming an inner ring. Within the ring, four triangular wedge-shaped elements radiate from a central pellet, forming a four-pointed star or cross-like composition, surrounded by four pellets placed in the cardinal interstices. The spare, abstract design is typical of Hungarian royal coinage of the twelfth century, hammered in low relief. A beaded outer border surrounds the entire composition. |
