| Obverse description | Central field depicts an upright sword flanked by two heraldic shields, all contained within a beaded inner circle. A circular Latin legend runs between the inner beaded circle and an outer linear circle. The design is characteristic of medieval Catalan hammered billon coinage, with crude but legible lettering typical of the late 13th to early 14th century. |
