| Obverse description | Central field displays a stylized bird or angel figure in relief, rendered in the crude hammered style characteristic of early medieval Iberian coinage. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a further beaded border following the irregular flan edge. The figure's wings are spread, with schematic detailing typical of Romanesque-influenced die work. The overall composition is primitive yet deliberate, consistent with 11th-century County of Girona minting practices. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a frontal standing figure, likely an angel or ecclesiastical personage, rendered in low relief in the rough hammered style of 11th-century Catalonian coinage. The figure appears robed, with arms partially extended, flanked by secondary decorative or figural elements on either side. The letter P appears prominently in the left field, serving as the principal legend of this die. The flan is irregular with a coarsely beaded border, and the strike is characteristically off-center, as is common for hammered dineros of this period and region. |
