| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized standing figure, likely a royal or saintly effigy, depicted frontally beneath an arched canopy or architectural frame. The figure appears robed, with arms extended, rendered in the simplified Gothic hammered style characteristic of late 14th-century Ruthenian deniers. Flanking pellets and annulets are visible in the field. The flan is irregular and slightly broader than the die, with a worn peripheral legend largely obscured by weak striking. |

| Reverse description | Central device displays a large Gothic crown or crowned letter, rendered with foliate terminals and ornamental cusps, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The design is characteristic of the Lwów mint issues of Louis I of Hungary, employing bold but crudely executed Gothic decorative elements typical of hammered billon coinage of the period. Pellets and small annulets are distributed around the primary charge. The flan edges are irregular, and the surrounding legend, if present, is largely illegible due to the limits of the die and striking pressure. |
