| Obverse description | A rampant lion passant guardant to the left occupies the entire field, rendered in high relief with detailed mane, open jaws, and tail arched over its back. The figure stands on its hind legs with forelegs raised, characteristic of the heraldic León of Castile. No legend or inscription is present; the design fills the flan to its reeded border. |

| Reverse description | A three-towered castle of Castile rendered in high relief occupies the central field, depicted frontally with a crenellated parapet, two flanking turrets, a central tower, and an arched doorway at the base. The masonry coursing is finely detailed. No legend or inscription appears; the castle motif fills the flan to its reeded border, consistent with known die varieties documented for this issue. |
