| Obverse description | Enthroned ruler depicted in three-quarter or frontal view, wearing a nimbus (halo) and seated upon a low-backed throne, holding a cross-tipped scepter in his right hand. The figure of Prince Lazar Hrebeljanović is rendered in the Byzantine iconographic tradition. Two Greek letters flank the enthroned figure in the field, serving as an abbreviated legend identifying the ruler. The overall style reflects the late medieval Serbian hammered coinage convention, with bold but somewhat irregular striking typical of the period. |

| Reverse description | Christ Pantocrator depicted in full figure, standing upright within a beaded mandorla in the Byzantine tradition. He holds the Book of Gospels in his left hand, with his right hand raised in a gesture of benediction. Two abbreviated Greek letters are placed symmetrically in the field on either side of the central figure. The composition closely follows Byzantine iconographic conventions prevalent in late medieval Serbian ecclesiastical art and coinage. The design is characteristic of posthumous dinars struck in the name of Prince Lazar following his martyrdom at the Battle of Kosovo in 1389. |
