| Obverse description | Central device depicting a stylized Gothic castle with three towers, the central tower being the tallest, all rendered in high relief within a plain inner circle. The castle features a prominent arched gateway with portcullis detail at its base, flanked by two smaller lateral towers. The surrounding circular legend reads MONETA CASTELLE in Latin characters, separated by small pellet stops, with the lettering partially obscured by the irregular flan edges typical of hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicting a passant lion to the left, rendered in bold relief with a granulated mane and tail curling upward, set within a plain inner circle. The lion's body is depicted in profile with raised forepaw, in the heraldic tradition of the Kingdom of Leon. Small floral or trefoil ornaments appear in the field around the lion. The peripheral legend ET LEGIONIS in Latin characters runs around the coin, partially visible given the typical irregular flan of this hammered issue. |
