| Obverse description | Central field displays a highly stylized facing bust or heraldic figure, rendered in the crude, summary style typical of low-denomination medieval billon coinage. The design is enclosed within a partial inner circle, with the surrounding legend partially visible along the irregular flan edge. The strike is weak and uneven, consistent with hand-hammered production, and considerable die wear obscures fine detail. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts a heraldic shield of Namur bearing a cross, surmounted by a smaller heraldic element, all set within an inner circle. The composition reflects the standard armorial coinage style of the County of Namur in the early fifteenth century. The surrounding legend, though largely illegible due to the irregular flan and weak hammered strike, would have referenced the issuing count. The flan is notably uneven at the edges, characteristic of hand-struck billon mites of this period. |
