| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned arms of Sardinia — a plain shield displaying the traditional pales (vertical stripes) of Aragon — enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The shield is surmounted by an ornate royal crown. The circular Latin legend reads CAROL III HISP ET SARD REX, identifying Charles III as King of Spain and Sardinia, and runs between the beaded border and an outer rope-like decorative rim. The overall design reflects the late medieval hammered coinage tradition of the Italian states. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large floriated cross pattée at center, with a crescent moon in the lower quadrant and foliate ornaments filling the remaining quarters, all within a beaded inner circle. The cross is rendered in the bold, slightly irregular style characteristic of hammered gold coinage of this period. The surrounding Latin legend INIMIC EIVS INDVAM CONFVS — a devotional inscription meaning 'I shall clothe His enemies with shame' — runs between the beaded border and an outer rope-like decorative rim. The overall composition is consistent with the Sardinian scudo d'oro type of the early eighteenth century. |
