Obverse description The Genoese castle gateway (porta) depicted in three-quarter relief, set within a quadrilobe frame with cusped lobes. The turreted gate features three arched openings at its base and is rendered in a stylized Gothic manner characteristic of Genoese medieval coinage. A circular beaded border surrounds the polylobe, with the uncial Latin legend distributed around the outer field, punctuated by stars and a trefoil stop.
Obverse script Latin (uncial)

Reverse description A bold Latin cross centered within a quadrilobe frame, the lobes decorated with trefoil terminations and rosette ornaments at the junctions, all rendered in high relief typical of hammered Genoese gold coinage. The cross arms extend fully to the inner edge of the polylobe, and the overall composition reflects the Genovino tradition inherited from the full-weight denomination. The uncial Latin legend of the Holy Roman Emperor Conrad runs continuously around the beaded outer border, punctuated by stars and pellets.
