| Obverse description | Within the central field, the motto SIC inscribed within a lunar crescent, oriented with horns pointing upward. The entire device is set within a plain inner circle, surrounded by the circular legend. The lettering is rendered in an informal hammered style typical of small billon coinage of the Gonzaga duchy. |

| Reverse description | Central device composed of two interlaced letter C forms, one upright and one inverted, placed back-to-back to form a decorative monogram. Within the concave space of each C, two pellets are visible; the composition is flanked above and below by small rosette ornaments. The design is enclosed within a circular legend and is characteristic of the decorative heraldic ciphers employed on minor Gonzaga coinage of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. |
