| Obverse description | The obverse features the coat of arms of Kalocsa — a fortified gate flanked by two storks and a Maltese cross in the center — rendered in high relief within a circular wreath of stylized folk floral motifs typical of Kalocsa embroidery. The legend HUNGARIKUM arcs across the upper field and KALOCSAI HÍMZÉS across the lower field, with the engraver's initials HC and the serial inscription 14/24 visible in the inner field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely filled with a richly detailed high-relief composition of Kalocsa folk embroidery motifs, depicting large stylized roses, tulips, leaves, and smaller blossoms covering the entire field. The design closely replicates the characteristic pattern of Kalocsa needlework, with deeply modeled, textured surfaces. The monogram MR appears in the lower right area of the field. |
