| Obverse description | Crowned bust of Charles I of Anjou facing right, wearing a jewelled crown and draped mantle, holding a fleur-de-lis sceptre in the left hand. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the characteristic hammered style of 13th-century Angevin coinage. The legend encircles the bust in Gothic script, interrupted by pellets or crosses as dividers. The portrait conveys a strong regal presence consistent with early Angevin iconographic conventions. |

| Reverse description | Pointed heraldic shield bearing the French royal arms: semé of fleurs-de-lis with a label of three points along the chief, differencing the arms of Anjou from those of France. The shield is depicted in high relief, occupying the majority of the reverse field, and is rendered with fine detail in the hammered technique. A partial legend in Gothic script surrounds the shield, divided by star or cross stops. This design reflects the Angevin dynastic claim to the Kingdom of Sicily through French royal lineage. |
