| Obverse description | Crowned Madonna (Virgin Mary) depicted facing, holding the Christ Child on her right arm, standing on a crescent moon. Below the Madonna, a shield bearing the Szapolyai wolf device serves as a heraldic charge in the lower field. The legend encircles the design within a beaded border, invoking the king's titulature by the grace of God. |

| Reverse description | Full-length frontal effigy of Saint Ladislaus (László), crowned and robed as king, holding a halberd in his right hand and an orb in his left, standing on a decorative base. The date appears in the left field alongside a mintmark (castle over F) to the left of the figure, with a further mintmark (shield over G) to the right, dividing the legend. The saint is depicted with a long beard and in armored attire, consistent with the traditional Hungarian royal florin type. A beaded border frames the entire design, with the surrounding Latin legend identifying the patron saint. |
