| Obverse description | Central field displays a crowned royal shield of Aragon set within a Gothic quatrefoil frame, the shield bearing the characteristic pale stripes of the Crown of Aragon. The quatrefoil is enclosed within a plain inner circle bordered by a beaded ring. The surrounding legend runs clockwise in Gothic characters, separated from the inner design by a dotted border. The overall style is consistent with late medieval Aragonese hammered silver coinage of the early fifteenth century. |

| Obverse lettering | FERDINANDUS DEI GRACIA REX (Translation: Ferdinand I King by the grace of God) |
| Reverse description | Central field features a long cross pattée dividing the inner circle into four quarters, each containing a heraldic device within a Gothic lobe: the rampant lion of Leon, the eagle of Sicily, the bull of the Balearics, and the stripes of Aragon, all arranged within a quatrefoil. A beaded inner border separates the central design from the circumferential legend, which runs in Gothic script around the full periphery of the coin. The composition reflects the dynastic claims of Ferdinand I over Aragon and Majorca. |
