| Obverse description | Central full-length or bust figure of a ruler or saint, facing, rendered in crude medieval style within a beaded or linear inner circle. The effigy is flanked by a surrounding Latin legend partially legible along the periphery of the roughly struck flan. The hammered technique produces an uneven relief with flat fields typical of medieval Adriatic civic coinage. |

| Reverse description | A stylized tower or city fortification depicted centrally, representing the defensive walls of Cattaro (Kotor), rendered in low relief consistent with the crude hammered workmanship of medieval Dalmatian civic issues. A partial Latin legend encircles the design along the rim of the irregular flan, largely worn and partially off-flan. |
