| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of Grand Master Ramon Despuig facing right, wearing a voluminous curled periwig in the Baroque style. The portrait is rendered in moderate relief within an inner circle, with fine detailing on the armor's shoulder plate and drapery. The circumferential Latin legend reads F·D·RAIMVNDVS·DESPVYG·M·M·H·H·, identifying the Grand Master by name and title, separated by pellet stops. The coin's milled border frames the entire composition. |

| Reverse description | Central oval shield bearing the quartered arms of Grand Master Ramon Despuig — combining the cross of the Order of St. John with the personal arms of the Despuig family — surmounted by the Grand Master's crown. The shield is set within elaborate Baroque acanthus scrollwork and foliate ornaments occupying the field. The date 1737 is split to either side of the crowned shield, with '17' to the left and '37' to the right. A fine dentilated border encircles the entire reverse. |
