| Obverse description | Central device depicting two elongated pointed forms, possibly stylized wheat ears or lance tips, arranged vertically side by side within a plain circular field. The design is rendered in low relief characteristic of hammered lead coinage, with a roughly granular surface texture. No legend or inscription is apparent on this face. The overall style is schematic and utilitarian, consistent with late medieval Catalan municipal token coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central motif consisting of a cross potent or architectural cross form, rendered in coarse low relief within a beaded or plain inner circle. The surrounding field shows traces of a circular border. The design is characteristic of the municipal señal coinage of Tárrega, issued under the authority of Fernando II of Aragon. The strike is weak and irregular, typical of hammered lead pieces of this period and denomination. |
