| Obverse description | Within a pearl circle, the enthroned Madonna is depicted seated on a crescent, wearing an open crown and holding the Christ Child in her right arm, both figures set within a glory (radiate nimbus). An escutcheon bearing the Polish-Jagiellonian eagle is positioned in the lower field. The composition is characteristic of the Hungarian royal florin tradition, with fine hammered execution. |

| Reverse description | A standing, crowned figure of Saint László (Ladislaus I) depicted in full armour, holding an orb in one hand; the mintmark flanks the king's figure and divides the field. The legend encircles the design along the rim, with the date appearing within the inscription. The style is typical of late Jagiellonian-period Hungarian goldsmith work, rendered in hammered relief. |
