| Obverse description | At center, a large Gothic letter A rendered in a bold, angular uncial style, flanked by four annulets placed symmetrically in the four quadrants around the letter, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding outer legend reads RIMINE SIS A in uncial Latin characters, denoting the city of Rimini as the issuing authority. Stars serve as dividers within the outer legend. The overall design is characteristic of late medieval Italian civic coinage, struck on an irregular planchet by the hammered method. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, four Gothic uncial letters are disposed symmetrically around a central annulet, forming a cruciform arrangement that references the name and title of the ruler. The outer legend, separated by annulets and punctuation marks, reads S PADVLFVS DE M A T S in uncial Latin script, identifying the issuer as Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, lord of Rimini. Stars and annulet stops punctuate the legend at regular intervals. The design reflects the characteristic medieval Italian seignorial coinage style, with the ruler's name abbreviated and distributed around the field in a manner typical of Romagnol bolognini of the fifteenth century. |
