| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the Portuguese royal shield, displaying five escutcheons arranged in a cross pattern, each charged with five bezants (quinas), within a beaded inner circle. The shield is rendered in a plain, Gothic heraldic style typical of 14th-century Portuguese coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner circle, separated from it by a beaded border. The overall design is characteristic of Fernando I's regal coinage, emphasizing dynastic identity through the royal arms. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a stylized representation of the Tower of Hercules (Corunha lighthouse), depicted as a crenellated tower with an arched gateway at its base, rendered in a schematic Gothic manner. The mint marks CR (to the left) and V (to the right) flank the tower, identifying the La Coruña mint. The central device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a circular Latin legend separated by a beaded border. Decorative stops, including rosettes or crosses, punctuate the legend. |
