| Obverse description | Central field bears a crowned shield displaying the Hungarian double cross (patriarchal cross) on a striped background, characteristic of the Árpád dynastic arms. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown. The overall design is rendered in the angular, Gothic style typical of early 14th-century Angevin hammered coinage. The device occupies the majority of the flan, which is irregular in shape as characteristic of the hammered parvus series. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts a standing figure of the Angevin dynastic emblem — a stylized fleur-de-lis flanked by decorative foliate elements, typical of the Angevin royal iconography introduced by Charles Robert. The design is boldly struck in the Gothic style of the period, with the central motif surrounded by a beaded or linear inner circle. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped, consistent with hammered medieval coinage of small denomination. |
