| Obverse description | The Madonna enthroned upon a bench, shown facing, wearing an open crown and holding the infant Jesus in her right arm. To the lower left of the throne, a three-flower vase motif is depicted, while two small columns flank the right end of the bench. Beneath the throne, the Hunyadi raven (crow) is shown with a ring in its beak, serving as the heraldic emblem of the Corvinus dynasty. The surrounding legend is separated by rosette dividers between the letters. |

| Reverse description | Saint Ladislaus (László I, King of Hungary) depicted standing facing, robed in royal garments and wearing a crown, holding a halberd in his right hand and an orb in his left. The figure is rendered in the characteristic flat, elongated Gothic style typical of late 15th-century Hungarian hammered gold coinage. The mintmark appears divided on either side of the central figure within the inner beaded circle. The legend surrounds the design within a beaded border. |
