| Obverse description | Central device depicts the Genoese city gate (castello) set within a polylobed frame decorated with alternating trefoils and rosettes, all enclosed by a beaded or reeded circle. The surrounding legend, rendered in Gothic uncial characters, identifies the doge as the sixth of Genoa and terminates with the mint master's initial. The overall composition is characteristic of the hammered Genovino series, with the architectural motif centrally placed and the lettering distributed evenly around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | A cross pattée occupies the center of a polylobed frame adorned with trefoils and rosettes, the entire device enclosed within a beaded or reeded circle. The peripheral legend, inscribed in Gothic uncial Latin, invokes the traditional Genoese numismatic formula honoring Conrad, King of the Romans, as imperial suzerain, and concludes with the initial of the mint official. The reverse design mirrors the decorative vocabulary of the obverse, presenting a balanced and symmetrical heraldic composition consistent with late 14th-century Genoese coinage. |
