| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized medieval castle with three towers, the tallest at centre flanked by two shorter lateral towers, all rising from a crenellated curtain wall with an arched gateway visible at the base. The design is rendered in a bold, high-relief hammered style characteristic of 13th-century Castilian coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the castle within the coin's irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts a passant lion facing left, rendered in a vigorous Romanesque style with a pronounced mane indicated by pellets or beading, the tail curling upward. The lion stands on a ground line with forepaw raised, filling the available field in bold relief. A circular Latin legend surrounds the lion device within the coin's irregular hammered flan. |
