| Obverse description | Standing frontal figure of Saint Stephen rendered in a simplified, schematic style characteristic of late medieval Adriatic civic coinage. The saint is depicted in long robes, with head slightly raised, occupying the central field. Partial Latin lettering appears along the left and right margins, though largely worn and illegible on most specimens. The overall composition is crude and irregular, consistent with hammered copper coinage of small denomination. |

| Reverse description | Central field divided into a cross-hatched diamond-shaped pattern forming a stylized coat of arms of Shkodër, characteristic of late 14th-century Albanian civic heraldry. The letter S appears flanked by two pellets or rosettes above (rendered as * S *), serving as an abbreviated civic inscription referencing the issuing city. The design is contained within a plain border, the overall execution being rough and typical of small hammered copper follari of the period. |
