| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned coat of arms of Catalonia, with the numeral value flanking the shield on either side. The design is enclosed within two concentric beaded circles, with a Latin legend running around the periphery between the circles. The overall style is characteristic of mid-17th-century Iberian hammered emergency coinage, with irregular flan and somewhat uneven strike. |

| Reverse description | A long cross divides the reverse field into four quarters; an annulet appears in the second and third quarters, while three bezants are placed in the first and fourth quarters. A Latin legend encircles the design between two concentric beaded circles, incorporating the city name and date. The composition follows the established municipal emergency coinage convention of Catalonia during the Reapers' War period. |
