Obverse description The Columns of Gediminas (Gediminaičių stulpai) rendered in double-line style occupies the central field, depicted as a stylised architectural symbol with three vertical shafts surmounted by a crossbar and finials. The device is enclosed within a dotted inner circle, itself surrounded by a beaded outer border running along the coin's irregular circumference. The execution is characteristic of early 15th-century Lithuanian hammered coinage, with bold, deeply struck lines typical of the Lutsk workshop.

Reverse description A lion passant facing right in bold, schematic relief dominates the central field, rendered in the crude but vigorous style of early Lithuanian hammered deniers. The beast is depicted with its tail raised and forelegs extended, occupying the full width of the flan. The figure is enclosed within a beaded border that follows the irregular outline of the coin. No legend is present; the design relies entirely on the heraldic device associated with the Lutsk appanage principality under Vytautas.
