| Obverse description | Central device featuring an elaborate crowned monogram or cipher composed of interlaced Gothic letters, enclosed within a quatrefoil formed by four arched segments, each adorned with small pellets at the junctions. A bold cross patée divides the quatrefoil into four quarters, each containing a portion of the central cipher. The surrounding field retains traces of a beaded inner border, with the partial Latin legend visible around the periphery of the irregularly shaped flan. |

| Reverse description | Central crowned royal shield of Aragon displaying vertical pales, surmounted by an imperial crown with prominent fleurons and pellet-tipped arches. The shield is flanked by small decorative elements and set within a beaded inner border. The surrounding Latin legend, partially visible on the irregular flan, records the royal titles pertaining to Valencia and Majorca. The overall design reflects the characteristic hammered style of mid-sixteenth-century Valencian gold coinage. |
