| Obverse description | Central cross with two short vertical lines terminating in a dot on each lateral arm. Two small crosses flank the central motif to the left and right. Six outward-facing crescents are arranged around the central cross, with the crescents at the top and bottom each accompanied by three pellets. The design is executed in the simple, schematic style characteristic of medieval Hungarian hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | A vertical line bisects the field, flanked by three pellets, dividing a double crescent device positioned in the upper section of the die. The lower portion of the field is plain. The composition is typical of the abstract, symbol-based reverse designs employed on Hungarian deniers of the twelfth century. |
