| Obverse description | Displayed crowned eagle with spread wings, depicted facing forward within a beaded inner circle. The eagle's plumage is rendered in fine relief typical of hammered Renaissance coinage. The surrounding field bears the Latin legend of the joint rulers, divided by the eagle's form. The inscription reads LVD 7 P LVCAS FLISC LAVA CO M D, referencing Ludovico II and Pierluca I Fieschi Lava, Co-lords of Masserano. |

| Reverse description | Full-length frontal figure of Saint Teonesto (San Teonesto), nimbed, mantled and cuirassed, standing erect.

The composition is characteristic of Italian Renaissance devotional coinage, with the figure rendered in bold relief against a plain field. The surrounding Latin legend identifies the saint as a martyr. |
