| Obverse description | Two large crowned heads facing one another in profile, their crowns nearly touching at the center of the field. Above the heads, a crescent flanked by a small circle and a cross-pattée star are arranged in the upper field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. The style is characteristic of medieval Hungarian hammered coinage, with bold, stylized portraiture typical of the Árpád dynasty period. |

A star appears above the central bastion, and two annulets or hoops flank the lower portion of the composition. The design is contained within a beaded border and reflects the armorial and dynastic iconography characteristic of Árpád-era Hungarian medieval coinage. |
