| Obverse description | Central crowned Gothic monogram of the king, composed of intertwined letters, enclosed within a double beaded inner circle. The monogram is surmounted by a prominent crown rendered in relief. Two concentric lines of Latin legend encircle the central device, separated by a beaded border, running from the inner circle to the coin's edge. The execution is characteristic of Castilian hammered medieval coinage, with an irregular flan and bold, if somewhat uneven, lettering. |

| Reverse description | Central quartered shield displaying alternating castles and lions, the heraldic arms of Castile and Leon, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The castles are represented as three-towered fortresses and the lions as passant rampant figures, all rendered in the bold, stylised manner typical of 14th-century Castilian hammered coinage. A continuous Latin legend in Gothic script runs around the periphery between two concentric beaded borders, identifying the issuing monarch and his realm. The flan is irregular, as is characteristic of hand-struck medieval issues. |
