| Obverse description | Capital letter H surmounted by an open crown occupies the central field, serving as the monogram device of the anonymous Mazzetti lordship. The design is rendered in a simple, bold relief consistent with late sixteenth-century hammered billon coinage of small denomination. A Latin circular legend surrounds the central device, reading MONETA · DD · FRINGI, denoting the monetary authority of the lords of Frinco. |

| Reverse description | A cross fleurdelisée — a Greek cross with each arm terminating in a fleur-de-lis — occupies the central field, a device commonly associated with devotional and seigneurial coinage of northern Italy in this period. The arms of the cross extend nearly to the inner border, dividing the field into four quarters. The surrounding Latin legend IN · HOC · SIG · VINCES · (an abbreviated form of the Constantinian motto 'In hoc signo vinces') encircles the design, affirming the religious and dynastic symbolism of the type. |
