| Obverse lettering | BELA REX (Translation: King Béla) |
| Reverse description | Depiction of an angel subduing or slaying a dragon, rendered in the schematic, low-relief style typical of hammered medieval Hungarian deniers. The angel figure is shown in a dynamic pose, with wings visible above, thrusting downward toward the prostrate dragon below. Both figures are contained within a plain beaded border. The composition fills the entire field with bold, if crudely struck, forms, leaving no legend or additional inscription on this side. |
