| Obverse description | Central field features a label with two fleurs-de-lis positioned upon it, flanked by three fleurs-de-lis on the pendant points and two additional fleurs-de-lis below, forming a heraldic arrangement typical of Angevin dynastic iconography. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The peripheral legend is struck in Gothic-style Latin characters, reading the queen's name and title. The flan is irregular and slightly scyphate in character, consistent with hammered billon coinage of the mid-fourteenth century Neapolitan mint. |

| Reverse description | A bold cross potent occupies the central field, with a fleur-de-lis placed in each of the four quarters formed by the arms of the cross, a design emblematic of Angevin heraldic tradition and Jerusalem kingship claims. The cross arms are sturdy and well-defined, though softened by the irregular strike typical of hammered medieval coinage. The peripheral legend, rendered in Latin within a beaded border, records the queen's titles as ruler of Jerusalem and Sicily. The overall reverse composition reflects the established Neapolitan denaro typology of the mid-fourteenth century. |
