| Obverse description | Frontal enthroned figure of King Charles Robert, crowned and robed, depicted in a highly stylized manner characteristic of early 14th-century Hungarian hammered coinage. The king is shown seated in majesty with arms extended, within a beaded or linear border. The crude yet expressive rendering reflects the hammered technique and the artistic conventions of the Angevin period in Hungary. |

| Reverse description | The Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) depicted in high relief, walking to the left, with a detailed fleece rendered as a series of raised pellets. The lamb bears a processional cross-topped banner or flag over its back, a symbol of Christ's resurrection and a hallmark of Angevin dynastic iconography. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the Latin legend disposed around the circumference of the field. |
