| Obverse description | Helmeted bust of Bohemond III facing left, depicted in a stylized manner characteristic of Crusader coinage. A star appears to the right of the bust and an inverted crescent to the left, serving as decorative field elements. The surrounding legend reads +BOAMVNDVS (with a reversed D), rendered in crude Latin majuscules within a beaded border. The helmet is shown with a nasal guard in a flat, engraved style typical of 12th-century Antiochene hammered billon issues. |

| Reverse description | A plain cross pattée divides the field into four quarters, with a crescent moon appearing in the second (upper-left) quarter, a distinctive Crusader iconographic feature. The surrounding legend reads +ANTIOCHIA in crude Latin majuscules within a beaded border, identifying the issuing city of Antioch. The cross design is bold and fills the central field, executed in the rough hammered style typical of Principality of Antioch billon deniers of the late 12th century. The lettering style corresponds to the Type A classification for this issue. |
