| Obverse description | Crowned frontal bust of King Fernando I within the inner field, the effigy rendered in a gothic style with draped shoulders and the royal crown prominently displayed above. The mint mark 'M' for Miranda do Douro appears to the right of the bust. A beaded inner circle separates the central device from the surrounding Latin legend, which runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | A large floriated cross pattee occupies the central field, with the Portuguese royal shield — bearing the traditional quinas (five escutcheons arranged in a cross) — at its centre. Stylised castle motifs or decorative elements are placed in the angles of the cross. A Latin circular legend runs around the periphery within a beaded border, the whole design executed in the bold, somewhat irregular gothic hammered style characteristic of 14th-century Portuguese coinage. |
