| Obverse description | Within a central inner circle, a hand raised in profile grasping a dagger or sword, the blade pointing upward, rendered in a schematic Romanesque style typical of feudal Catalan coinage. Horizontal lines beneath the hand suggest stylized ground or a cuff. A Latin legend reading IMPVRIARUM (genitive form of Empuries) runs between two concentric circles surrounding the central device, beginning with a cross pattée. |

| Reverse description | A plain cross with arms extending to an inner circle divides the field into four quarters; a four-petalled flower or quatrefoil ornament occupies the second and third angles (upper right and lower left), while the remaining quarters are plain. The composition is enclosed within an inner circle, and a Latin legend identifying the issuing count runs in the outer field between two concentric circles, beginning with a cross pattée. |
