The Guldiner features the equestrian image of Saint Ladislaus from the reign of King Ladislaus II, accompanied by a Latin inscription. Encircling the coin is the inscription "Hungarian Coinage Millennium" arranged in a circular pattern, with a decorative line at the base.

The Latin phrase "SANCTVS LADISLAVS REX VNGARIE" translates to "Holy Ladislaus, King of Hungary."

Ladislaus I (c. 1040 – 1095), also known as Saint Ladislas, ruled as King of Hungary from 1077 and King of Croatia from 1091. Born around 1040 as the second son of King Béla I of Hungary and Richeza of Poland, Ladislaus and his brother Géza initially supported their cousin Solomon's reign. However, their relationship soured, leading to rebellion in the early 1070s. After Géza's death in 1077, Ladislaus became king, facing resistance from Solomon and King Henry IV of Germany during the Investiture Controversy. Despite Solomon's abdication in 1081, tensions persisted, leading to Ladislaus imprisoning him. Renowned for restoring public safety and expanding Hungarian territories, Ladislaus faced challenges from the Holy See regarding Croatia. Canonized in 1192, he is revered as a symbol of chivalry and remains a popular saint in Hungary and neighboring nations.
