| Obverse description | Design closely derived from Hungarian gold ducats of the period. Standing effigy of St. Ladislaus facing left, depicted in full figure holding a halberd, with a circular Cyrillic legend surrounding the central device reading КНЯЗЬ ВЕЛИКИЙ ИВАН (Grand Prince Ivan). The lettering is incuse and irregularly struck, consistent with hammered coinage of the era. |

| Reverse description | Design closely derived from contemporary Hungarian ducats. The quartered Hungarian royal coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring the characteristic alternating barry stripes and the patriarchal double cross on a mount, displayed within a shield. The heraldic device is surrounded by a beaded border, the overall composition faithfully imitating the Hungarian prototype. The coin shows an old mount hole at the lower right, consistent with use as a pendant or jewelry piece. |
