| Obverse description | Frontal standing figure of Saint Tryphon, patron saint of Cattaro (Kotor), shown with nimbus, rendered in a crude hammered style typical of small medieval Adriatic coinage. The saint occupies the central field with abbreviated legend surrounding the effigy. Below the figure appear the initials Z-S, denoting the rector or provveditore Zaccaria Salomon who authorized the emission. The surrounding Latin legend reads ·S·TRIFON-CATARI·, identifying the saint and the issuing city. |

| Reverse description | Winged Lion of Saint Mark passant or affronted in the central field, symbolizing the suzerainty of the Venetian Republic over the city of Cattaro. The design follows the standard Venetian bagattino type, with the lion rendered in a schematic, heavily worn hammered style consistent with the crude fabric of this small copper denomination. A dotted inner border frames the composition, with partial lettering visible in the surrounding field. |
