| Obverse description | Thin monogram of King Perctarit composed of the letters P, E, and R, arranged within a circular border of dots. Three dots are positioned to the left of the monogram and five dots descend vertically through its centre, forming a characteristic decorative arrangement. The lettering is rendered in a simplified, stylised Latin script typical of late Lombard coinage. The overall design occupies the full field of this small, irregularly shaped flan. |

| Reverse description | Uniface bracteate; the reverse bears no independent design, displaying only the incuse impression of the obverse monogram transferred through the thin silver flan during striking. The surface is plain and undecorated, with slight irregularities consistent with the hammered bracteate technique characteristic of Lombard half-siliquae of this period. |
