| Obverse description | Imitation of an Andalusian gold dinar, featuring a multi-line Kufic Arabic inscription arranged in three horizontal lines within a plain inner circle. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central field, reading RAIMVNDVS COMES (Ramon, Count), separated from the central inscription by a raised linear border. The outer margin bears additional Arabic Kufic text. The flan is irregular and slightly spread at the edges, characteristic of hammered gold coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Imitation of an Andalusian gold dinar reverse, displaying a multi-line Kufic Arabic inscription arranged within a plain inner circle, closely following the layout of Taifa-period Moorish dinars. A circular band of Arabic Kufic script encircles the central device, separated by a raised linear border. The outer marginal legend continues in Kufic characters around the full circumference of the flan. The overall design faithfully reproduces the format of contemporary Islamic gold coinage, reflecting the commercial and political context of 11th-century Christian Iberia. |
