| Obverse description | Crowned and draped bust of James II facing left, rendered in the crude yet expressive style typical of medieval Catalan hammered coinage. The royal crown is prominently detailed with trefoil ornaments and pellets. The effigy is contained within an inner beaded circle, with the Latin legend distributed around the periphery between two concentric beaded borders. The bust displays visible neck drapery and stylized facial features characteristic of 13th–14th century Iberian die-cutting. |

| Reverse description | A bold central long cross extends to the inner beaded circle, dividing the reverse field into four quarters; the first and fourth quarters each contain an annulet, while the second and third quarters each bear three pellets arranged in triangular formation. The Latin mint name legend is distributed around the periphery between two concentric beaded circles, consistent with standard Barcelona denier types of the period. |
