| Obverse description | Diademed bust of the king facing right, rendered in a crude, barbaric style typical of Lombard silver coinage of the late 7th century. The effigy is depicted in low relief with rudimentary facial features, the diadem indicated by a simple linear band. The overall execution reflects the provincial workshops of the Lombard kingdom during the reign of Perctarit. |

| Reverse description | Central field occupied by the royal monogram of Perctarit, composed of intertwined letters in a cruciform arrangement, flanked by a distinctive pattern of twelve dots distributed across the field: three dots to the left of the monogram, five dots arranged vertically down the centre, one dot above, and two dots to the right. The dot arrangement is a defining diagnostic feature distinguishing this emission within the Perctarit coinage series. |
