| Obverse lettering | ✠ HIERO • PRIOLI • DVX |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents a figure of the winged Lion of Saint Mark passant, depicted in a stylised manner consistent with Venetian colonial billon coinage of Cyprus. The lion occupies the central field, facing left, with the wing raised prominently above its back. The surrounding marginal legend in Latin reads ✠ S • MARCVS • VENETVS, invoking the patron saint of Venice, with a cross pattee as the initial mark. The overall execution reflects the modest artistic standard expected of a low-denomination circulation piece produced by the Nicosia mint. |
