| Obverse description | The Madonna (Virgin Mary) enthroned and facing forward, seated on a crescent, holding the Christ Child in her right arm. A single tower appears on each side of the central figure in the field, flanking the Madonna. Below the crescent, the Jagiellonian eagle of the Polish-Lithuanian dynasty is depicted. The design is rendered in the late Gothic Hungarian florin tradition, with a beaded inner border enclosing the central motif. The peripheral legend runs along the outer rim. |

| Reverse description | Saint László (Ladislaus), patron saint of Hungary, depicted standing facing forward in full royal regalia, crowned and wearing armored dress beneath a cloak. He holds a battle-axe (halberd) in his right hand and an orb in his left, with both attributes rendered in the characteristic late medieval Hungarian florin style. The mintmark letters K and H appear in the field, flanking the figure on left and right respectively, identifying the mint. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the circumferential legend distributed around the outer rim. |
