Obverse lettering HEN. DE. LOR. DVX. REI. N.
Reverse description Central device consisting of three wheat stalks and an olive branch bound together at the base, symbolizing peace and abundance. The date of issue appears above the bound sheaf. A circular Latin legend surrounds the composition, reading PAX. ET. VBERTAS. (Peace and Plenty), a motto directly referencing the political aspirations of the Guise claimancy. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with hammered production methods, and the design is typical of the emergency or short-lived coinage issued during the Masaniello revolt period in Naples.
