| Obverse description | Central device features a displayed eagle with wings spread and head turned sinister, bearing upon its breast a shield charged with the patriarchal arms of Aquileia. The eagle occupies the full field of the coin in a bold, archaic hammered style characteristic of northern Italian ecclesiastical coinage of the late 13th century. The surrounding legend is rendered in Gothic Latin characters interspersed with decorative floral stops. |

| Reverse description | Enthroned frontal effigy of Patriarch Peter of Gera, depicted full-length and rigidly hieratic in the ecclesiastical tradition, wearing a mitre and patriarchal vestments. The figure raises a patriarchal cross in the right hand and holds a book of the Gospels in the left. The seated patriarch divides the surrounding legend into two registers, left and right, in a composition typical of episcopal coinage of the period. |
