| Obverse description | Stylized castle depicted above a representation of the sea, featuring a long and low outer wall whose ends touch or intersect the inner circumference of the coin. The castle design, struck by hand, displays characteristic irregular contours typical of hammered coinage of the mid-15th century Portuguese mint. The field around the castle is largely unadorned, with the overall composition confined within the coin's irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | Central device comprising the Portuguese royal coat of arms rendered as a shield of the 4th type, featuring the quinas (five escutcheons) arranged in cross formation, each charged with bezants, enclosed within the quartered royal shield. A partial circular legend in uncial Latin characters surrounds the shield in the field, though legends on hammered ceitis of this period are frequently incomplete or partially visible due to the irregular flan and striking technique. |
