| Obverse description | Crowned bust of Ferdinand II facing left, wearing a crown and draped in royal attire, with long flowing hair. Two small annulets flank the effigy in the field, with an 'S' mintmark visible below the bust. The legend surrounds the portrait within a beaded border, rendered in the Gothic style typical of late medieval Aragonese coinage. |

| Reverse description | The crowned arms of Valencia — a shield bearing vertical stripes set on a lozenge (diamond orientation) — occupy the central field, surmounted by a royal crown with floriate terminals. Flanking branches or floral ornaments appear to either side of the shield. The circular Latin legend runs around the periphery within a beaded border, identifying the territories of Valencia, Majorca, and Sardinia. |
