| Obverse description | A stylized tree or plant motif rising from the base of the field, bisected vertically by a long cross surmounted by a small cross at the top. Foliate scrollwork branches extend to either side of the vertical shaft in a symmetrical arrangement. The horizontal legend ARAGON is inscribed across the central field, flanking the upright cross. The design is executed in the crude, bold style characteristic of 11th-century Iberian hammered coinage, with a beaded outer border visible along the coin's irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | Crude, schematic bust of King Sancho V facing right, depicted within a beaded inner circle. The effigy is rendered in the primitive Romanesque style typical of 11th-century Iberian deniers, with summary facial features and stylized hair indicated by fine lines. The royal legend SANCIVS·REX encircles the central beaded border, separated by decorative stops, all contained within a plain outer border following the irregular flan. |
