Depicts the Holy Crown of Hungary, surrounded by the inscription "Hungarian Royal Exchange Coin," separated at the bottom by a six-pointed star, the issue year below.

The Holy Crown of Hungary (also known as the Crown of Saint Stephen) was the coronation crown used by the Kingdom of Hungary for most of its existence; kings have been crowned with it since the twelfth century. No king of Hungary was regarded as having been truly legitimate without being crowned with it. In the history of Hungary, more than fifty kings were crowned with it, up to the last, Charles IV, in 1916. The cross is attached to the crown in a rough manner, rising from the midriff of Christ in the central enamel plaque at the top of the crown. The cross was knocked crooked in the 17th century when the crown was damaged, possibly by the top of the iron chest housing the insignia being hastily closed without the crown having been placed in it properly. The cross has since been left in this slanted position, and is now always depicted as such.

Depicts the denomination, with the mint mark "K·B" (Kremnica) below it. The central motif is encircled on both sides by a wreath of wheat ears tied together at their stems with a ribbon.
