| Obverse description | Standing figure of a warrior or ruler in full armor, facing forward, holding a sword raised in the right hand and a shield or orb in the left; the figure is depicted in a frontal, hieratic style characteristic of medieval Adriatic coinage. A small heraldic device or star appears to the right of the figure in the field. The design is enclosed within a beaded border, with a Latin legend distributed in the surrounding field. |

| Reverse description | Frontal standing figure of a haloed saint, rendered in the Byzantine-influenced style typical of medieval Dalmatian grossi, robed and facing the viewer with hands raised in an orans or blessing posture. The saint is depicted with a nimbus and stylized drapery, standing on a decorated base or plinth. The composition closely follows the Venetian grosso tradition adapted for local Adriatic lordships. The design is enclosed within a beaded border, with a Latin legend surrounding the central image. |
