| Obverse description | The Virgin Mary (Madonna) enthroned and facing forward, crowned with a high ornate crown, holding the Christ Child in her right arm, seated upon a crescent moon. Decorative floral or foliate ornaments appear on either side of the enthroned figure, and the Jagiellonian eagle of the Polish-Jagiellon dynasty is depicted below in the field. The design is executed in the late Gothic hammered style typical of Hungarian royal florins of the early sixteenth century. |

| Reverse description | Saint László (Ladislaus), the canonized King of Hungary, depicted full-length and facing forward in royal vestments, holding a long-handled battle axe (halberd) in his right hand and an orb surmounted by a cross in his left. The mintmaster's initials K and H (or K and G depending on year) flank the figure at either side of the field, serving as the mint mark. The surrounding legend names the saint-king, and the date of issue appears within the inscription. The figure is rendered in the characteristic late medieval hammered style consistent with Hungarian gold florins of the Jagiellon period. |
