| Aversbeschreibung | Bare-headed effigy of a youthful king in profile facing right, rendered in a schematic Romanesque style typical of 12th-century Iberian hammered coinage. The bust is contained within a plain inner beaded circle, with the surrounding legend occupying the outer field between the inner and outer beaded borders. The portrait is crudely but vigorously struck, with minimal facial detail characteristic of the period. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Crowned bust of a king facing right, depicted with a sword held upright before him, rendered in the angular Romanesque style characteristic of 12th-century Leonese hammered billon coinage. The crowned effigy, identifiable as Fernando II of León, is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the reverse legend distributed in the outer field between concentric beaded borders. The strike is irregular, with some weakness at the flan edges consistent with hand-hammered production. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Ferdinand II of León struck these coins jointly with his nephew Alfonso VIII of Castile during a brief period of political alignment between the two kingdoms — an arrangement that dissolved as both rulers consolidated independent power. The "two kings" designation reflects a genuine co-issue, not merely a titular acknowledgment, making it one of the more unusual monetary collaborations of twelfth-century Iberia.
The billon content is characteristically low even by the debased standards of Leonese coinage of this period.
