| Obverse description | Central field depicts a crowned king on horseback facing left, brandishing a sword aloft in his right hand and holding the reins with his left, rendered in the bold, flat relief characteristic of late medieval Castilian hammered coinage. The equestrian figure is enclosed within a plain inner circle. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner circle, reading DOMINVS MICHI ADIVTOR ET NON, a devotional invocation derived from the Psalms. The irregular flan edge is typical of hand-struck medieval gold coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a quartered coat of arms divided by a plain cross, with castles (for Castile) in the first and fourth quarters and rampant lions (for Leon) in the second and third quarters, all in high relief. The shield is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads ALFONSVS DEI GRACIA REX CASTELLE, proclaiming the pretender Alfonso as king by divine grace. The overall composition follows the standard heraldic style of mid-fifteenth-century Castilian gold coinage, with the irregular flan consistent with hand-hammered production. |
