| Obverse description | Crowned bust of Alfonso IV facing left, depicted in a stylized medieval manner typical of Aragonese hammered coinage. The king wears an ornate crown adorned with fleur-de-lis and cross finials. The facial features are rendered in a somewhat schematic style characteristic of Barcelonese mint production of the period. A partial circular legend surrounds the bust, partially visible along the coin's irregular flan edge. |

| Reverse description | A bold cross pattée divides the reverse field into four quarters, each containing a distinctive arrangement of pellets and annulets — a design characteristic of the Barcelona mint coinage of the Aragonese period. The quadrants display varying groupings of pellets surrounding central annulets, consistent with the recognized type for this denomination. The legend BARCANONA (a medieval orthographic form of BARCHINONA) runs around the periphery, partially obscured by the irregular flan. |
