| Obverse description | A crowned rampant lion passant guardant to the left occupies the central field, rendered in bold relief with clearly articulated mane and curling tail. The heraldic lion, emblematic of the Kingdom of Castile and León, is shown with forepaws raised in the traditional rampant posture. The design fills the field with no inscriptions or legends. The border is defined by a continuous beaded circle, characteristic of the small-denomination Philippine colonial coinage of the late 18th century. |

| Reverse description | A stylized castle with three crenellated towers is depicted in the center of the field, rendered in strong relief with detailed masonry coursing visible on the walls and flanking turrets. The central tower rises above two flanking towers, and an arched gateway is indicated at the base, referencing the heraldic Castle of Castile. The design is unlettered, with no inscriptions or legends in the field. A continuous beaded border encloses the design, consistent with the obverse treatment and typical of the Manila Mint output of this period. |
