| Obverse description | Central field divided by a horizontal bar into two registers, with the abbreviated legend NAM / VRC arranged in two lines, enclosed within a plain inner circle. The surrounding outer legend, rendered in Gothic uncial characters, reads the ruler's name and title. A small lion device serves as a punctuation mark at the beginning of the outer inscription. The overall design is characteristic of the struck billon and copper coinage of the medieval County of Namur, with bold lettering typical of 14th-century Low Countries minting practice. |

| Reverse description | A bold cross pattee occupies the central field, its four arms expanding toward a plain inner circle that frames the design. The cross is deeply struck, with concave triangular terminals on each arm, consistent with the pattee form common in medieval Namur coinage. A circular legend in Gothic uncial script surrounds the inner circle, separated from the coin's outer edge by a beaded or rope border. A small lion device marks the beginning of the legend. The composition is typical of 14th-century Low Countries ecclesiastical and comital monetary issues. |
