| Obverse description | Central design featuring a cross mounted on a pole, flanked on either side by an annulet, all contained within a beaded inner circle. A Latin legend encircles the central device, running between the inner beaded circle and an outer beaded border, consistent with the Barcelonese coinage tradition of the 12th century. |

| Reverse description | A long cross extends to the margins of the coin, quartering the field and dividing the surrounding Latin legend into four sections. The legend is contained between an inner solid circle and an outer beaded circle, a characteristic feature of the hammered billon coinage issued under Alfonso I of Aragon as Count of Barcelona. |
