| Obverse description | Facing auroch head occupying the central field, with a six-pointed star placed between the horns. A rosette appears to the right of the head and a crescent to the left, serving as heraldic accessories characteristic of Moldavian coinage of this period. The design is rendered in a bold, low-relief hammered style typical of medieval Eastern European issues. |

The reverse exhibits the characteristic rough, irregular flan and shallow relief of hammered Moldavian half-groschen coinage from the reign of Alexander I the Good. |
