| Obverse description | Central field displays a royal crown in high relief, rendered in the characteristic style of Navarrese hammered coinage. The crown is depicted frontally with three fleurs-de-lis finials and a stepped base, set within a beaded inner circle. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, partially legible due to the irregular flan and typical die wear associated with mid-16th century hammered issues. The overall design reflects the heraldic conventions of the Iberian kingdoms under Charles I. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a plain Greek cross with splayed arms, boldly struck within a beaded inner circle. Above the circle, a royal crown is visible, consistent with the crowned cross type characteristic of Navarrese cornado coinage of the period. The surrounding circular Latin legend, referencing the sacred formula, is partially obscured by the irregular flan edge and surface wear. The hammered technique results in a slightly off-center strike, typical for this denomination and era. |
