| Obverse description | Central field displays a quartered heraldic shield, the arms of Wallachia, surmounted by a patriarchal cross above the escutcheon. The shield is divided into quarters bearing alternating horizontal stripes and a crescent motif. The design is rendered in a bold, primitive hammered style characteristic of early Wallachian coinage. A dotted inner border separates the central device from the surrounding Cyrillic legend. The overall composition reflects the medieval heraldic conventions of the Danubian principalities. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a standing frontal figure, identified as the voivode Vladislav I, depicted in long robes with a cross-decorated garment, holding a sceptre or staff. The figure's flowing hair is rendered with bold strokes in the hammered style. To the right of the figure, a small rectangular device or tamga symbol is visible in the field. The Cyrillic legend runs around the periphery within a dotted border, naming the issuing ruler. The composition follows the typology of contemporary Balkan and Central European ducats adapted to Wallachian iconographic traditions. |
