| Obverse description | A central Latin cross with splayed arms divides the field into four quarters, each containing a schematically rendered facing head. The two heads are depicted in a highly stylised, almost symmetrical arrangement flanking the vertical bar of the cross. No legend or inscription is present; the design fills the coin's plain field within a raised border. |

| Reverse description | A quadruped animal, identifiable as a lion or similar beast, shown in profile walking to the right with its long tail curling upward behind it. The figure is rendered in a bold, primitive hammered style typical of 13th-century Hungarian brakteate-influenced coinage. The creature's body and limbs are schematically modelled in low relief, occupying most of the unadorned field. No legend or border inscription is present. |
