| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized Gothic castle with three towers, the central tower being the tallest, rendered in the heraldic tradition characteristic of Castilian medieval coinage. The castle is shown with a doorway at the base and flanking turrets, representing the arms of Castile. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading ENRICVS REX CASTELLE, attributing the issue to Enrique III as King of Castile. The legend is separated from the central device by a beaded inner circle. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, typical of hammered billon coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a rampant lion facing left, rendered in a bold, stylized Gothic manner representing the arms of León. The lion is depicted with a mane indicated by pellets or short strokes and a curling tail raised over its back, consistent with Castilian heraldic convention of the late 14th and early 15th centuries. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads ENRICVS REX LEGIONIS, identifying Enrique III as King of León. A beaded inner circle separates the legend from the central device. The strike is moderately uneven, as expected for a hammered billon dinero of this denomination. |
