| Obverse description | Three-line Latin legend in the field, arranged horizontally across the coin face and reading SPA / LATI / NO, referencing the city of Spalato (modern Split). The lettering is rendered in a crude, rustic Romanesque style typical of medieval Dalmatian civic coinage, with individual letters occupying the full width of the flan. The coin is struck on an irregular, slightly ragged flan characteristic of hammered medieval issues. |

| Reverse description | Stylized facing head or mask in the centre of the field, surrounded by a partial beaded or cable border. The design is executed in a highly schematic, archaic style with minimal facial detail, consistent with the broader tradition of Dalmatian and Hungarian-influenced medieval deniers of the late 12th and early 13th centuries. Small decorative elements or crosses appear in the surrounding field. The overall strike is weak and off-centre, as is common for hammered civic issues of this period. |
