| Obverse description | Full-length frontal effigy of Saint Gaudentius, patron bishop of Rimini, depicted in episcopal vestments with mitre and raising his right hand in benediction, set within a beaded inner circle. The saint's stylized robes and facial features reflect the Romanesque-Gothic artistic conventions typical of 13th–14th century Italian communal coinage. A circular Latin legend runs along the outer border between the beaded circle and the coin's edge. |

| Reverse description | A plain pattée cross with slightly expanded arms occupies the centre of the coin, struck in high relief within a beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four quarters. A second, wider beaded border frames the design, separating it from the outer circular Latin legend. A small decorative cross appears at the top of the legend as a punctuation mark, flanked by rosette stops. The overall composition closely follows the Grosso Agontano standard established at Ancona and widely imitated by Adriatic communes during this period. |
