| Obverse description | Central field divided into four quarters by a plain cross, each quarter containing a small cross pattée or cross fourchée ornament. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the royal legend distributed around the outer border between the inner beaded ring and the coin's irregular edge. The lettering is rendered in a crude Romanesque lapidary style characteristic of early Hungarian hammered coinage. |

| Additional information |
Ladislaus I — later canonized in 1192, making him one of a very small number of medieval Hungarian rulers to achieve sainthood — consolidated royal authority after decades of dynastic conflict that had left the kingdom fractured and the coinage chaotic. His reign marks the first period of meaningful monetary stability in the Árpád dynasty, and deniers attributable to his rule show a corresponding regularity of production absent from earlier issues.
The multiple reference numbers reflect ongoing scholarly disagreement about die attribution and sequencing within the type.
