| Obverse description | Central field displays a stylized three-towered castle or fortified gateway rendered in medieval Gothic style, with crenellated battlements atop a broad stepped base, the central tower rising prominently above two flanking towers. The design is executed in low relief characteristic of hammered coinage. The entire central device is enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a beaded border. The surrounding Latin legend is partially visible around the periphery of the coin. |
