| Obverse description | Full-length frontal effigy of Christ standing in orans-like posture, robed in long garments with finely engraved drapery folds, right hand raised in benediction and left hand extended outward. Monogram characters or abbreviated inscriptions appear to the left and right of the figure in the field. The design is rendered in the medieval Byzantine artistic tradition, characteristic of hammered Wallachian coinage of the mid-14th century. |

| Reverse description | Two standing imperial figures identified as Ivan Alexander and his son Michael Asen, positioned facing one another with a banner or flag depicted between them. The names of the two rulers are rendered in monogram form, placed to the left and right in the field respectively. The composition reflects the dynastic iconography common to Bulgarian-influenced Wallachian coinage of the 14th century, executed in a hammered, somewhat irregular style typical of the period. |
