| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized cross pattée with beaded horizontal bar, flanked symmetrically by crescent moons in the upper and lower quarters. Two lateral ornamental scrolls or serpentine devices appear at the left and right, each accompanied by pellets. Above the central cross device, a bold cross pattée with splayed arms occupies the upper register, while a similar cross pattée appears at the bottom, creating a vertically symmetrical composition. The entire design is executed in a flat, low-relief hammered style characteristic of medieval Hungarian deniers, with no legend. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a plain cross with flared, slightly splayed arms, enclosed within a single raised circular inner border. Four pellets are placed one in each quarter between the arms of the cross, a typical motif on Árpád-dynasty Hungarian deniers. The composition is simple and unadorned, with no legend or additional devices. The flan is irregular and broader than the die, with characteristic hammered fabric. The low-relief design reflects the aniconic, cross-dominated style prevalent in twelfth-century Hungarian coinage. |
