| Obverse description | Central device consisting of a stylized fleur-de-lis or lily motif with three upright stems rising from a base, rendered in crude hammered style typical of emergency coinage. The design occupies the majority of the field, flanked by abbreviated letters of the circular legend. The coin is bordered by a beaded inner circle, with the irregular flan characteristic of hastily produced wartime issues. The overall execution is rough, reflecting the exigencies of the 1640s Catalan revolt period. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicting a prominent triangular or pyramidal form surmounted by a cross or fleur-de-lis finial, representing a stylized heraldic emblem associated with the city of Puigcerdà. Below the central device appears a fleur-de-lis. The surrounding circular legend bearing the mint city name and date is divided by the central motif. A beaded border frames the design, and the irregular flan edges reflect the hammered production technique employed under wartime conditions. |
