| Obverse description | A stylized lion passant to the left rendered in low relief within a roughly rectangular flan. The design is executed in a bold, schematic manner characteristic of civic copper coinage of the region, with the lion's body formed by broad, curved raised lines. The surrounding field bears decorative linear border elements framing the central device. |
