Obverse description A large fleur-de-lys occupies the central field, rendered in relief with the characteristic three-petalled heraldic form surmounted by a small cross finial. The design is set within a plain field with a beaded border encircling the periphery. The fleur-de-lys is the dynastic emblem of the Este family, rulers of the Duchy of Modena and Reggio, and serves as the sole decorative element on this face.

Reverse description The denomination is displayed in two lines across the central field, reading SOL above DO, forming the word SOLDO in large, bold capital letters. The inscription is the sole design element on this face, enclosed within a beaded border that follows the coin's circular periphery. The straightforward typographic layout reflects the utilitarian character of this small copper circulation issue.
