| Obverse description | Central field depicts a Gothic castle with three towers, each surmounted by battlements, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Two small roundels or pellets flank the castle at mid-field. The mint mark appears below the castle within the inner circle. A Latin legend runs continuously around the periphery of the coin outside the beaded border, partially visible due to the irregular flan characteristic of hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a rampant lion facing left, rendered in bold relief, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The lion's mane, claws, and tail are clearly delineated in the Gothic artistic style typical of early sixteenth-century Castilian coinage. The mint-master initial 'B' (for Baltasar de Camargo) appears in the lower field within the inner circle. A continuous Latin legend encircles the design outside the beaded border, partially legible due to the irregular hammered flan. |
