| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a bold patriarchal cross with flared terminals, set within a beaded or rope-like inner circle. The quarters of the cross contain decorative foliate or ornamental elements typical of Wallachian hammered coinage. A circular Cyrillic legend surrounds the central motif, reading the ruler's name and title. The strike is characteristically irregular, as expected of a hammered medieval gold issue. The overall design reflects the Byzantine artistic influence prevalent in 14th-century Wallachian numismatic tradition. |

| Reverse description | A stylized eagle or bird figure stands prominently in the central field, rendered in a schematic, medieval manner consistent with Wallachian ducats of the Vladislav I period. The bird, facing to one side, is depicted with spread or folded wings and detailed feathering indicated by engraved lines. Below the bird, a small cross motif is visible in the lower field. The surrounding Cyrillic legend encircles the design and references Transalpine (Wallachia). The execution is typical of hammered gold coinage, with slight irregularities in the flan and strike. |
