| Obverse description | Crowned royal bust facing left in profile, depicted in a stylised medieval manner with visible facial features including eye and beard. The effigy is rendered in low relief typical of Aragonese hammered coinage of the early 14th century. A beaded inner circle frames the bust, with the Latin legend partially visible in the surrounding field. The truncation is draped, suggesting a regal mantle. |

| Reverse description | A patriarchal cross (double-barred cross) displayed prominently at centre within a beaded inner circle, rendered in low relief characteristic of hammered medieval billon coinage. The cross divides the inner field into four quadrants. The surrounding legend, reading IACOBVS REX, is partially legible around the periphery, separated from the central device by the beaded border. |
