| Obverse description | Central field bearing a two-line inscription in uncial Gothic lettering, separated by a raised horizontal bar, all enclosed within an inner beaded or toothed circle. The peripheral legend runs along the outer rim of the flan, partially legible due to the irregular strike characteristic of hammered medieval coinage. The execution is typical of small feudal Low Countries issues of the late 14th century, with crude but intentional lettering arranged symmetrically around the central dividing line. |

| Reverse description | A short-footed cross occupies the central field, its arms extending toward a beaded inner circle that separates the central motif from the surrounding peripheral legend. The cross is rendered in the simple, bold style typical of Low Countries feudal mites of the late medieval period. The legend runs continuously around the outer field, partially obscured by the weak and irregular strike. The overall design reflects the modest artistic output of a small lordship mint operating under strong regional monetary conventions. |
