| Obverse description | A large fleur-de-lis occupies the central field, rendered in bold relief with clearly defined petals and a banded base. The motif serves as the heraldic emblem of Louis XIV of France, reflecting the French dynastic claim over the Duchy of Modena during this period. The surrounding border is composed of a continuous radial dentilation pattern framing the entire obverse design. |

| Reverse description | A two-line Latin inscription reading MVTIN / SESIN is displayed centrally within an ornate cartouche formed by scrolling foliate strapwork. A small fleur-de-lis surmounts the cartouche at the top, echoing the obverse heraldic device. The legend abbreviates MVTINA (Modena) and SESINVS (Sesino), identifying both the issuing city and the denomination. The outer border is composed of fine radial dentilation consistent with the obverse. |
