| Obverse description | Crowned and enthroned frontal effigy of King Alfonso V, depicted in regal attire with arms slightly extended, rendered in the schematic medieval style typical of Aragonese hammered coinage. The figure is shown facing, seated on a throne with the crown prominently displayed above the head. The surrounding Latin legend reads + ALFONSUS DEI GRACIA REX, partially visible around the irregularly shaped flan. The overall style is crude yet characteristic of small-denomination billon issues of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a quartered shield bearing the arms of Aragon and Majorca, divided by a plain cross into four quadrants, with the distinctive vertical bars of Aragon visible in the relevant quarters. The shield is the dominant device occupying most of the reverse field. The surrounding Latin legend + ARAGONUM ET MAIORICARUM encircles the design, partially legible on the irregular flan. The workmanship is consistent with hammered billon coinage of the Aragonese Crown in the first half of the fifteenth century. |
