| Obverse description | Central field bears the Wallachian heraldic shield, depicted as a vertically divided escutcheon with diagonal hatching, surmounted by a small cross pattée at the apex. The initials P and C appear in the left and right fields respectively, flanking the shield, likely denoting the mint authority or ruler's monogram. The design is rendered in a bold, primitive hammered style characteristic of early Wallachian coinage. |

| Reverse description | A prominent cross pattée divides the reverse into four quarters, with a six-pointed star or rosette occupying each quarter. The arms of the cross are broad and clearly defined, meeting at a central point, while the stars are rendered in low relief with short radiating points. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, typical of the hammered coinage of medieval Wallachia. |
