| Obverse description | Facing bust of Saint Stephanus rendered in a crude, flat Byzantine-influenced style, depicted frontally with stylized vestments and flanked by abbreviated legend elements in the field. The figure is centrally positioned on the flan, with drapery indicated by simple incised lines. The overall execution is characteristic of late medieval Adriatic municipal coinage, with irregularities typical of hand-hammered production. |

| Reverse description | The municipal arms of Shkodër displayed on a shield, featuring a vessel or galley above a hatched or scaled lower portion of the escutcheon, occupying the central field. The heraldic device is rendered in a simplified, low-relief style consistent with hammered copper coinage of the late 14th century. The shield design reflects the civic identity of the city during the period of local Albanian lordship. Abbreviated letters or a partial legend appear above the shield in the upper field. |
