| Obverse description | Central field displays a stylized triple-towered Gothic castle with battlements and an arched gateway at its base, rendered in the heraldic tradition of Castile. The castle is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the royal Latin legend surrounding it in the outer field. The design is characteristic of the debased billon coinage struck under Enrique IV, with bold but somewhat irregularly struck relief typical of hammered medieval Iberian issues. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a rampant lion facing left, crowned, with its forepaws raised in heraldic posture, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Stars or pellets appear in the field surrounding the lion. The Latin legend of the king's title runs continuously around the outer margin. The style is consistent with the crude but vigorous hammered workmanship characteristic of Enrique IV's maravedis from the Medina de Rioseco mint. |
