| Obverse description | Within a beaded circle, a royal crown displayed above the monogram '.I.C.' (Iuana Carolina), referencing Queen Juana I of Castile. The surrounding legend reads +LETICIA. POPVLI. in Latin characters, arranged along the coin's periphery. The design is characteristic of the crude hammered coinage of the Kingdom of Naples in the early sixteenth century. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a Jerusalem cross (cross potent) occupies the central field, a symbol associated with the Aragonese rulers of Naples and their dynastic claim to the Kingdom of Jerusalem. The peripheral legend IVSTVS. REX. is inscribed in Latin around the outer border. The striking is typical of hammered copper coinage, with uneven flan and shallow relief. |
