| Obverse description | Central device of a radiant sun with eight wavy rays emanating from a small cross at the center, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding field carries the abbreviated legend of the lord of Rimini in uncial Latin characters. The design is characteristic of the Malatesta signorial coinage, rendered in the rough but expressive style typical of hammered billon issues of the period. |

| Reverse description | A nimbed, three-quarter length frontal figure of Saint Julian, depicted in the manner of a holy intercessor, holding a palm frond in his right hand as a symbol of martyrdom. The saint's head is encircled by a halo, and the bust is rendered in a stylized, hieratic fashion consistent with late medieval Italian hammered coinage. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin identifies the patron saint, separated by punctuation marks, running along the coin's periphery within the beaded border. |
