| Obverse description | Central field depicts a rampant lion passant within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the bold, somewhat crude style characteristic of medieval Bosnian hammered coinage. The lion, a heraldic emblem of the Bosnian kingdom, faces left with head turned forward and tail raised, its body rendered with visible textural detail. Surrounding the inner beaded border is a circular legend in uncial Latin characters separated by cross pattée stops, reading: MONETA ‡ AUREA ‡ REGIS ‡ STEPHANI, translating as 'Gold currency of King Stephen.' The entire composition is enclosed within an outer beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a crowned figure, likely a royal or saintly enthroned effigy, set within a trefoil or quatrefoil inner frame with a prominent crown at the apex, all executed in the hammered relief style typical of 15th-century Bosnian regal coinage. The figure appears robed and seated in a frontal pose, holding regalia, conveying royal or divine authority. A beaded inner circle separates the central device from the surrounding marginal legend in uncial Latin characters with cross pattée stops, reading: GLORIA ‡ TIBI DEUS ‡ SPES ‡ NOSTRA, translating as 'Glory to you God, our hope.' The reverse is enclosed within an outer beaded border consistent with the obverse. |
