| Obverse description | Central device depicting a turreted Gothic castle with three towers, the central tower prominently raised, set within a beaded inner circle. The castle, emblematic of the Kingdom of Castile, is rendered in a stylized medieval heraldic fashion typical of Enrique IV coinage. A partial Latin legend surrounds the field along the outer rim, partially visible due to the irregular flan and die wear characteristic of hammered billon issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicting a passant lion facing left, its head turned forward, set within a beaded inner circle. The lion, heraldic emblem of the Kingdom of León, is rendered in a bold, stylized medieval manner consistent with the hammered coinage of Enrique IV. A partial circumscribed Latin legend runs along the outer rim, partially obscured by the irregular flan shape and typical striking weakness of this billon denomination. |
