| Obverse description | Frontal figure of Saint Ladislaus depicted in bishop's or royal vestments, occupying the central field of the coin. The saint is rendered in a crude, stylised manner typical of medieval Dalmatian coinage. A circular legend surrounds the central figure, reading MONETA IADRE, identifying the coin as a product of the Zara mint. |

| Reverse description | A large central letter or monogram, likely a Gothic initial, set within a beaded or dotted inner circle occupying the central field. The surrounding legend, reading G S LA R UNGARIE, references Louis I (Ludovicus), King of Hungary, under whose suzerainty Zara issued this coinage. The design is executed in the rough, irregular style characteristic of hammered copper follari of the period. |
