| Obverse description | Central frontal bust of a saint or ruler in Byzantine-influenced style, closely modeled on the Venetian grosso type, occupying the majority of the field. The effigy is rendered schematically in low relief, with heavily worn details characteristic of hammered copper coinage. A partial Latin legend surrounds the central device, bordered by a beaded or dotted rim along the coin's irregular periphery. |

| Reverse description | A stylized tower or city fortification depicted in the center of the field, shown frontally with crenellated battlements and an arched gate at the base, symbolizing the city of Cattaro. Partial Latin inscriptions flank the tower on either side, heavily worn and largely illegible. The entire design is enclosed within an irregular beaded border consistent with the crude hammered fabric of this medieval Adriatic issue. |
