Depicts a crowned, haloed Virgin Mary seated on clouds within a radiant wreath adorned with pearls, placing her feet on a crescent moon. She holds the country's symbol and the haloed infant Jesus in her left hand, holding a scepter in her right hand. The image field is divided by the inscription "Patroness of Hungary," with the engraver's initials (TS) beneath the crescent moon. Surrounded by the inscription "John Paul II in Hungary".

Depicts the Hungarian coat of arms, surrounded by a pearled circle and dividing the issue year and the mintmark (BP). Around the circle, the country name (Hungarian Republic) and denomination. The engraver's initials in a small pearl circle.

The Hungarian coat of arms, adopted in 1919 and reaffirmed on July 3, 1990, features a vertically divided shield with a rounded base. The left field displays eight red and silver horizontal bars, symbolizing the Árpád dynasty, while the right field depicts three green hills with a golden crown on the center hill and a silver patriarchal cross emerging from it. These elements represent the Danube, Tisza, Dráva, and Száva rivers, and the Tátra, Mátra, and Fátra mountain ranges. Atop the shield rests the Holy Crown of Hungary, also known as the Crown of Saint Stephen, which has been used for coronations since the 12th century. The crown's cross was tilted in the 17th century due to damage, and it has remained in this position since then, symbolizing the enduring history and legitimacy of Hungarian monarchs.
