| Obverse description | Frontal effigy of a crowned king enthroned, depicted in a schematic, archaic hammered style typical of early medieval Hungarian coinage. The ruler holds a long scepter in his right hand and an orb in his left, both rendered in bold relief. The figure is shown in a rigid, hierarchical pose seated upon a low throne, with robes indicated by incised lines. The design is contained within a plain inner circle, with the irregular flan edge visible beyond. No legend is present on this type. |

| Reverse description | A crowned mythical quadruped, identified as a griffin or heraldic lion, depicted in profile walking to the right. The creature is rendered in a bold, stylised hammered technique characteristic of early 14th-century Hungarian bracteate-influenced deniers. The animal's raised foreleg, flowing mane or wing feathers, and long tail are clearly articulated in relief. A decorative element, possibly a harp or comb-like symbol, appears to the right of the creature in the field. The design fills the irregular flan within a plain border. |
