| Obverse description | Crowned facing bust of Enrique II with long flowing hair, rendered in a stylised Gothic manner typical of Castilian medieval coinage. The king is depicted full-face, wearing a crown visible above the flan edge, with detailed hair falling to the shoulders. The bust is set within the coin field surrounded by a circular Latin legend. The die work is characteristic of the hammered billon issues of the Trastámara period, with bold relief despite the irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | A bold cross pattée divides the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing a letter or symbol forming the royal cipher: the letters E, N, R, I arranged around the cross, with the mint mark of Cuenca visible in one quadrant. An inner beaded circle frames the central cross design, with the circular Latin legend running between the inner and outer borders. The design is characteristic of the cruzado type issued by Enrique II, combining the royal initial and cross motif standard to Castilian billon coinage of the late 14th century. |
