| Obverse description | Central field displays an elaborate floriated cross with trefoil terminals enclosed within a double quadrilobe frame, the arms of the cross adorned with stylized foliate motifs typical of Gothic die-cutting. The quadrilobe border is itself enriched with vegetal ornaments and small rosette or star punctuation marks. The surrounding legend, separated from the central design by a plain inner circle, runs clockwise in Gothic minuscule capitals and is interspersed with cross and rosette stops. The overall composition reflects the refined Italianate Gothic style characteristic of mid-14th century ecclesiastical coinage from the Patriarchate of Aquileia. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts the crowned rampant lion of Bohemia-Luxembourg passant to the left, rendered in bold relief within a beaded inner circle, the animal shown with claws extended and tail raised, serving as the heraldic emblem of Patriarch Nicholas of Luxembourg. The lion is surmounted by a small crown, referencing the Bohemian-Luxembourg dynastic connection of the issuing patriarch. The surrounding legend in Gothic minuscule capitals is distributed around the periphery, separated from the central device by a beaded or plain inner border, and punctuated by rosette stops. The reverse composition follows the standard Aquileian denaro typology established under the Luxembourg patriarchs, combining Bohemian dynastic heraldry with the Latin monetary legend. |
