| Obverse description | Standing frontal figure of Saint Tryphon, patron saint of Cattaro (Kotor), shown nimbate and clad in liturgical vestments, occupying the central field. The saint is depicted in a hieratic, stylized manner characteristic of late medieval Adriatic coinage. A Latin legend encircles the type, identifying the saint and the issuing city. |

| Reverse description | The winged lion of Saint Mark passant, emblematic of Venetian sovereignty, depicted in profile facing left with wings spread and resting one forepaw upon a shield bearing the arms of Cattaro, in accordance with the Venetian bagattino tradition. A surrounding Latin legend asserts Venetian authority over the city. The type closely follows contemporary Venetian copper coinage conventions adapted for local colonial circulation. |
