| Obverse description | Central field displays the quartered coat of arms of the Grimaldi family of Monaco, comprising the traditional lozengy fusilly in gold and red quarters alternating with wavy barry quarters, surmounted by a princely crown with elaborate scrollwork supporters on either side. The shield is flanked by ornate acanthus-leaf mantling. A circular legend in Latin runs along the periphery, separated from the central device by a plain inner border and an outer toothed or grained rim. The numeral 28 appears at the base of the coin within the legend, denoting a denomination or administrative reference. |

| Reverse description | Central device features a displayed eagle with wings spread, crowned above, rising from flames at the base, symbolising renewal and vigour in old age. On the breast of the eagle is a circular cartouche bearing the numeral 28. The eagle is rendered in the bold hammered style typical of mid-17th century princely coinage. The surrounding legend in Latin encircles the device, separated by an inner border from the toothed outer rim of the flan. |
