| Obverse description | Central rectangular cartouche in raised relief bearing the hotel name in two lines in gothic-style lettering, set against a rough cast field typical of cob-style tokens. The design is intentionally minimal, serving as an advertising piece for the issuing establishment. |

| Reverse description | Crude cast imitation of a Spanish colonial 8 Escudos cob coin (macuquina), featuring a roughly rendered cross with lions and castles in the quadrants, surrounded by a partial circular legend. The design is a deliberate stylistic pastiche of the reverse of a Peruvian 8 Escudos, cast with intentionally rough, irregular surfaces to evoke the appearance of a pirate-era treasure coin. |
