Depicts a Hungarian medium coat of arms, topped with the Holy Crown. To the left of the coat of arms is the value in Francs, and to the right is the value in Forints. The coat of arms is encircled by a regular circular motif, interrupted by the Holy Crown. The coin's legend includes the inscription "Hungarian Kingdom" and the issue year, separated by six-pointed star motifs.

The Hungarian medium coat of arms features five main fields. At the center is the small coat of arms of the Kingdom of Hungary, with one half displaying seven vertical red and white stripes and the other half showing a red field with a golden crown atop a triple green hill, topped with a double cross. Surrounding it are the coats of arms of neighboring regions: Croatia at the top left, Dalmatia to its right, Slavonia at the bottom left, and Transylvania to its right.

The Holy Crown of Hungary, also known as the Crown of Saint Stephen, served as the coronation crown for the Kingdom of Hungary from the 12th century onward. A king was not considered truly legitimate without being crowned with it. Over fifty Hungarian kings were crowned with the Holy Crown, the last being Charles IV in 1916. The cross atop the crown is attached roughly, protruding from the central enamel plaque of Christ. It was knocked crooked in the 17th century, likely due to improper storage in its chest. The cross remains in this slanted position and is always depicted as such.
