| Obverse description | Central field bears two heraldic shields side by side: the dexter shield displays the quarterly arms of Burgundy (ancient and modern) with the lion of Flanders, while the sinister shield displays the rampant lion of Flanders. Above the shields, the word FLANDRE or a similar legend appears in Gothic lettering within the inner circle. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner ring, surrounded by the outer circumferential legend in uncial Gothic letters reading the ruler's titles. The die work is characteristic of late 14th-century Flemish hammered coinage, with bold relief heraldic imagery and a plain flat field. |

| Reverse description | Central design features a large plain cross with slightly expanded terminals set within a beaded inner circle, dividing the inner legend into four segments. An intermediate circular legend band reads MONETA FLADRIE, separated from the outer legend by a beaded border. The outer legend carries the pious inscription SIT NOMEN DNI BENEDICTVM in uncial Gothic lettering, beginning with a cross pattee. The overall composition follows the standard gros tournois-derived layout typical of Flemish silver coinage of the period, with multiple concentric legend registers framing the central cross. |
