| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the quartered Royal Arms of Castile and León, incorporating the Portuguese escutcheon, surmounted by a royal crown. The mint mark and assayer's initials appear to the left of the shield, with the denomination numeral to the right. The entire device is set within a partial circular legend in the field. The flan is irregular and cob-style, characteristic of New World macuquina coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | A bold plain cross with fleurs at the terminals divides the field into four quarters, each containing alternating castles and lions passant guardant, representing Castile and León respectively, set within a quadrilobe border. A partial circumferential legend runs along the periphery, interrupted by the irregular flan edge. The date appears in the upper portion of the legend, with the regnal title continuing around the coin in typical macuquina fashion. |
