Obverse description	Heraldic shield bearing the coat of arms of Grand Master Claude de la Sengle, featuring crossed keys or similar armorial charges, rendered in low relief with a beaded or rope border encircling the field. The design is typical of hammered coinage of the Order of Malta, with the shield centrally positioned and the irregular flan lending a characteristically medieval appearance.

Reverse description	A centrally placed eight-pointed Maltese cross in raised relief, surrounded by a ring of small heart-shaped or pellet ornaments arranged in a circle within a raised inner border, all contained within the irregular flan. The bold, angular cross arms are characteristic of the iconography of the Knights Hospitaller, and the decorative pellet ring accentuates the heraldic simplicity of the design.
