According to Lengyel, there is a pellet there. While Frynas and Toth describe the legend as lacking the pellet, the coin depicted shows the presence of the pellet. Huszár describes the coin as lacking a pellet, and the coin depicted in Huszár and Pohl is not clear enough to confirm or contradict that description. The pellet may be present on this coin but is uncertain.
