| Obverse description | Divided shield occupying the central field, with three horizontal bars in the left half and seven fleurs-de-lis (lilies) arranged in the right half. A crown surmounts the upper portion of the shield, and the letter 'D' appears to the right of the shield in the field. The design is struck on a small, irregularly shaped hammered flan typical of medieval Moldavian coinage. |

| Reverse description | Facing auroch (aurochs) head, the heraldic symbol of Moldavia, with a six-pointed star positioned between the horns. A rosette appears to the right of the head in the field, and a crescent to the left, both serving as secondary heraldic charges. The design is rendered in the crude but characteristic style of hammered medieval Moldavian minor coinage, with an irregular flan and flat strike typical of the period. |
