| Obverse description | Depicted in the field is a mounted knight in armour riding to the right, bearing a cross-topped lance or standard. The rider's figure is rendered in a bold, stylised manner characteristic of medieval Wallachian hammered coinage. Cyrillic letters В (left) and Л (right) flank the equestrian motif in the field, serving as an abbreviated monogram of the issuing ruler Vladislav I (Vlaicu). The overall composition is contained within a plain circular border. |

| Reverse description | A bold pattée cross with flared terminals occupies the centre of the field, rendered in a thick, slightly irregular style typical of hammered medieval coinage. Six six-pointed star or asterisk ornaments are disposed symmetrically in the four quadrants formed by the arms of the cross, filling the field and lending the design a decorative character. Small pellet or dot details appear scattered within the quadrants. The design is enclosed within a plain circular border with no surrounding legend. |
