| Obverse description | Rampant lion passant to left, raised on its haunches in the heraldic tradition of the Pico family arms, depicted in high relief against a plain field. The beast's forepaws are raised and appear to clutch an object, with its mane and tail rendered in a stylized, somewhat crude manner consistent with early seventeenth-century Italian hammered coinage. No legend or inscription is present on this side. |

| Reverse description | The city name MIRANDOLA, the seat of the Duchy, is boldly inscribed in three horizontal lines across the field in large Roman capital letters reading MI / RANDO / LA, with a small ornamental floral or foliate device visible above the first line. The legend is contained within a beaded inner border, and the overall design is stark and legible, typical of the minor copper coinage of the Italian states in the early Baroque period. |
