| Obverse description | Central field displays a stylized castle with three towers, the central tower being the tallest, rendered in a schematic Gothic manner typical of Castilian medieval coinage. Three pellets appear beneath the base of the castle, serving as a distinguishing privy mark for this emission. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading F REX CASTELLE, identifying Fernando IV as King of Castile. The overall design is characteristic of the hammered billon dineros struck during the late 13th and early 14th centuries. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a passant lion facing left, rendered in the schematic style typical of Castilian-Leonese medieval hammered coinage. The lion, symbol of the Kingdom of León, is depicted with stylized mane and raised forepaw within a plain inner circle. A surrounding circular Latin legend reads ET LEGIONIS, completing the royal titulature begun on the obverse. The flan is irregular and slightly worn, consistent with normal circulation of billon coinage of this period. |
