| Obverse description | Heraldic shield divided per pale into two distinct quarters. The dexter (left) half displays four horizontal bars or fesses in relief, characteristic of the Hungarian-influenced arms associated with Moldavian dynastic heraldry. The sinister (right) half bears seven fleurs-de-lis arranged in a 4-3 pattern (four in the upper rows, three below), rendered in a stylized Gothic manner typical of 14th-century hammered coinage. The shield is presented in a plain unadorned field with no surrounding legend, occupying the full flan. |

| Reverse description | Frontal aurochs head occupying the central field, with horns curving outward in a broad sweep, emblematic of the traditional Moldavian princely symbol. Between the horns, a five-pointed star is placed prominently in the upper field. To the right of the aurochs head, a crescent moon is positioned in the field, while to the left appears a small rosette. The design is executed in the crude but vigorous hammered style characteristic of late 14th-century Moldavian coinage, with no surrounding inscription. |
