| Obverse description | Central field displays a pointed heraldic shield bearing a diagonal band (bend) decorated with three dragon or lion heads, rendered in Gothic style typical of Castilian medieval coinage. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner beaded border, reading the royal titulature of Juan II. The overall execution is characteristic of hammered gold coinage of 15th-century Castile, with an irregular flan and bold, deeply struck devices. |

| Reverse description | Central field divided into four quarters by a plain cross, with alternating castles and lions passant in the quadrants: castles of Castile (upper left and lower right) and rampant lions of Leon (upper right and lower left), all rendered in the bold Gothic style of 15th-century Castilian hammered gold coinage. The devices are contained within a beaded inner circle. A circular Latin legend surrounds the beaded border, carrying the royal titulature of Juan II as King of Leon. The flan is irregular, as typical of hand-struck medieval gold coinage. |
