| Obverse description | Stylized depiction of a fortified tower or castle, traditionally identified as the Tower of David, shown frontally with crenellated parapet and arched gateway at its base, all set within a beaded inner circle. The design is rendered in the bold, schematic manner characteristic of Crusader hammered coinage of the twelfth century. The legend T.V.R.R.I.S, an abbreviated Latin inscription for 'turris' (tower), appears around the central device within the border. |

| Reverse description | An eight-rayed star with elongated pointed rays fills the central field, enclosed within a raised beaded circle. The field between the beaded circle and the coin's irregular edge is occupied by scattered pellets and the partial Latin legend +.D.A.V.I.T, an abbreviated reference to David, distributed around the circumference. The overall composition is typical of Crusader States billon and copper coinage, combining Occidental heraldic motifs with local minting conventions. |
