| Obverse description | Central field depicts a heraldic lion rampant, rendered in high relief in the Gothic medieval style typical of Rhenish lordship coinage of the late 14th century. The lion is shown passant or rampant within a lobed or cusped inner border, its mane and body details struck with characteristic hammered irregularity. A beaded inner circle separates the central device from the surrounding peripheral legend. The outer legend reads + GODEFRIDVS • D • HEINSBERG, identifying the issuer as Gottfried (Godefridus) III, Lord of Heinsberg, with text separated by rosette or pellet stops. The coin shows the typical broad, irregular flan characteristic of hammered medieval silver. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays an ornate Gothic architectural motif, likely a stylised castle or tower emblem, enclosed within a lobed or polylobed inner border consistent with late 14th-century Rhenish numismatic convention. The central device is surrounded by a beaded inner circle. The peripheral legend reads + MONETA • NOVA • DALENBROCH, identifying this as the new coinage of Dalenbroich (Dalenbrok), the mint town of the Heinsberg lordship, with text divided by pellet or rosette stops. The overall die engraving reflects the Gothic artistic style prevalent in the Lower Rhine region during the reign of Gottfried III. |
