| Obverse description | A rampant lion facing left occupies the central field, rendered in a bold, archaic style characteristic of late medieval Italian lordship coinage. A crowned heraldic shield is depicted at the base of the lion, associated with the Trivulzio arms. A partial Latin legend encircles the design along the periphery, reading partially as IOANS or similar, referencing Johann Jakob Trivulzio. The strike is irregular, typical of hammered copper coinage of the period, with weak areas at the margins. |

| Reverse description | A large heraldic crown is depicted in the center of the field, rendered in high relief within a beaded inner circle, a common device on the minor copper coinage of the Trivulzio lordship. The crown is elaborately detailed with fleurons and arches, consistent with a comital or princely crown. A Latin legend surrounds the beaded border, referencing the issuer or the denomination. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at the edges, as is typical of hammered trillina coinage of this era. |
