| Obverse description | Central field depicts the Visconti biscione (a large serpent devouring a human figure), coiled around a crowned helmet surmounted by a crested dragon, all rendered in high relief in the medieval hammered style. Two serpents flank the central device, their bodies curving outward toward the beaded inner border. A heraldic shield bearing the Visconti arms appears at the base of the composition. The circumferential legend, in Gothic uncial characters, runs between the inner beaded and outer plain borders, referencing Bernabò Visconti as lord. |

| Reverse description | Central field mirrors the obverse composition, featuring the Visconti biscione coiled around a crested crowned helmet with flanking serpents, all executed in characteristic high-relief hammered work. A heraldic shield at the base displays the Visconti dynastic device. The field is uneven due to the hand-hammered production method. The circumferential legend in Gothic uncial script, running between a beaded inner circle and the coin's irregular outer edge, names Galeazzo Visconti as co-ruler and lord. |
