| Obverse description | Ornamented great helm facing left, depicted in profile with decorative cresting and visor details rendered in the Gothic style typical of medieval Serbian coinage. The helmet is centrally positioned within the coin field, surrounded by a circular Latin legend along the periphery. The die-struck design exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and uneven relief associated with hammered silver coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Christ enthroned in Majesty (Christ Pantokrator), shown facing, seated upon an ornate throne with a nimbus surrounding the head. Mint marks or decorative symbols appear to the left and right of the throne. The Christological nomina sacra IC XC appear in the fields flanking the figure, following the Byzantine iconographic convention standard on medieval Serbian dinars. The composition draws directly from Byzantine artistic tradition, reflecting the strong ecclesiastical and cultural influence on the Nemanjić-era Serbian court. |
