| Obverse description | Central device depicting the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) passant, shown in profile facing left with a nimbed cross rising behind its back, rendered in the Gothic hammered style typical of late 14th-century Castilian coinage. The lamb stands within a beaded inner circle, its legs delicately struck in low relief. The surrounding legend reads AGNVS DEI QVI TOLIS PE, a partial invocation from the Gospel of John (1:29), disposed around the circumference in Latin characters. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing the royal crowned Gothic monogram of Juan I of Castile, surmounted by a royal crown with fleurs-de-lis, all struck in low relief characteristic of hammered billon coinage of the period. The monogram occupies the majority of the flan within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding circumferential legend reads CATA MUNDI MISERE N, a partial liturgical invocation in Latin requesting divine mercy, consistent with the Agnus Dei devotional theme of the issue. |
