| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large Gothic letter B rendered in relief, enclosed within a beaded (grenetis) circle bordered by two concentric rings. The letter B is boldly executed in the medieval style typical of Genoese-influenced municipal coinage. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with hand-struck hammered production of the period. The overall design is simple and heraldic, serving as a civic emblem for the commune of Bonifacio. |

| Reverse description | A plain Latin cross with arms extending to the beaded (grenetis) border, dividing the reverse field into four quadrants. Small circular pellets or ring ornaments appear in two diagonally opposite quadrants, a decorative feature characteristic of medieval Genoese colonial deniers. The cross design is rendered in low relief on the irregularly shaped hammered flan. The beaded circle is framed by two concentric rings, mirroring the obverse border treatment. |
