| Obverse description | Frontal effigy of a crowned king standing in full regalia, holding an upright sword in his right hand and a shield adorned with a double cross in his left. The figure is rendered in a flat, stylized manner characteristic of late 13th-century Hungarian hammered coinage. The irregular flan edge is bordered by a beaded or rope-like rim. |

| Reverse description | A Venetian-style lion passant guardant shown in full frontal aspect, with the animal's face turned directly toward the viewer, its mane rendered with radiating stylized strokes and its body depicted with dotted or pellet detailing across the chest and flanks. The composition closely follows Venetian monetary iconographic conventions, reflecting the cultural influence of Venice on the Hungarian court of Andrew III. The field is plain and the coin is contained within a beaded border along the rim. |
