| Obverse description | Central field displays a large Gothic letter M in raised relief, rendered in the Burgundian Gothic style characteristic of the late 15th century. The letter M is enclosed within a raised inner circle, separating it from the surrounding legend. The peripheral legend runs clockwise between two concentric borders, with a fleur-de-lis serving as a stop mark at the top. The overall design is typical of the small billon or copper coinage issued under the Burgundian rulers of Flanders. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a plain short cross with equal arms in raised relief, set within a raised inner circle that divides the design from the marginal legend. The cross arms extend nearly to the inner border, characteristic of Flemish mite coinage of the period. The surrounding legend is separated by a beaded inner circle and an outer border, with a fleur-de-lis stop mark visible at the top. The hammered fabric results in a slightly irregular flan, consistent with low-denomination Burgundian coinage of the 1477–1482 period. |
