| Obverse description | Crowned Gothic monogram of Charles (Carolus) occupying the central field, rendered in a bold, angular medieval style typical of mid-fifteenth-century Navarrese hammered coinage. The crown surmounts the monogram and is flanked by small pellets or annulets in the field. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, partially legible due to the irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | A plain Latin cross divides the reverse field into four quadrants, a characteristic design of medieval Navarrese cornado coinage. The cross extends to a beaded inner circle, with the surrounding legend partially visible along the coin's irregular edge. The overall die work is rough and characteristic of hand-struck billon issues of the period. |
