| Obverse description | Central cross pattée within a beaded inner circle, with small pellets or decorative elements in each quarter of the cross. The cross is rendered in a stylized, slightly irregular hammered manner typical of Lombard gold coinage. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the inner beaded border, reading the royal title of Desiderius. The overall composition is characteristic of late Lombard tremisses, retaining Byzantine-influenced cross-type designs. |

| Reverse description | Central wheel or rosette motif with radiating spokes dividing the field into segments, each containing a pellet or petal, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The design evokes a stylized star or floral wheel, a motif common on Lombard tremisses of the Ticinum mint. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner beaded border, citing the mint name Flavia Ticinum (Pavia). The irregular flan and hand-struck technique lend the coin a characteristic organic outline typical of eighth-century Lombard gold coinage. |
