| Obverse description | Left-facing bust of Archbishop Raymond IV wearing a mitre, rendered in a stylised Gothic manner typical of early 14th-century ecclesiastical coinage. The bishop's vestments are suggested by foliate decorative elements flanking the effigy, with a beaded or jewelled pectoral ornament visible at the base of the neck. A small crosslet interrupts the encircling Latin legend at the base, serving as a punctuation mark cutting into the inscription. The surrounding legend names the issuing prelate and runs between two beaded or plain border circles. |

| Reverse description | Central cross pattée with foliage or trefoil terminals in each angle, the whole enclosed within an inner beaded or linear circle. The four quadrants formed by the cross arms are each filled with a trefoil or stylised leaf motif, creating a leafy cross design characteristic of Dauphiné ecclesiastical issues of this period. The surrounding Latin legend, introduced by a cross pommée, identifies the see of Embrun and runs between the inner circle and the coin's irregular outer edge. |
