| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the crowned heraldic shield of Grand Master Hugues Loubenx de Verdala, quarterly displaying the cross of the Order of St. John and the personal arms of the Grand Master, flanked on either side by ecclesiastical hat tassels (galero). The shield is surmounted by a princely crown. The surrounding legend in Latin characters reads the name and title of the Grand Master, interrupted by a cross pattée at the commencement. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts two clasped hands (a dextrarum iunctio), symbolising faith and alliance, with the date 1591 inscribed above the hands within a wreath or decorative border. The denomination numeral X (denoting 10 Grani) appears below the clasped hands, flanked by stops. The peripheral legend in Latin, commencing with a cross pattée, carries the pious motto of the Order. The overall composition is characteristic of hammered copper coinage of the Maltese Grand Masters of this period. |
