| Obverse description | Enthroned facing figure of King Peter IV (Pedro IV of Aragon), crowned and robed in royal regalia, depicted in a stylized Gothic manner typical of 14th-century Aragonese coinage. The king is shown seated frontally on a throne, holding royal attributes, flanked by decorative foliate elements. The central device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circumferential Latin legend running between the inner and outer borders. The execution is characteristic of hammered medieval coinage, with bold but somewhat irregular relief. |

| Reverse description | Quartered shield of arms divided by a bold cross extending to the inner border, with the heraldic devices of Aragon and Majorca occupying the four quadrants in a composition typical of 14th-century Iberian coinage. Stylized lions and bars appear in the quarters, rendered in the flat, compact style of hammered medieval dies. A beaded inner circle frames the central armorial design, with the circumferential Latin legend distributed around the outer margin between two borders. The die work is characteristic of the Palma de Majorca mint under Peter IV. |
