| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the quartered arms of Bavaria-Hainaut, displaying the heraldic devices associated with the joint rule of Jacqueline of Bavaria and John IV of Brabant. The shield is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the Gothic legend running in the outer field. The die-struck design is characteristic of early fifteenth-century Low Countries billon coinage, with the heraldic charge rendered in the hammered style typical of the period. |

| Reverse description | A long cross pattee extending to the legend, dividing the reverse field into four quarters, with a smaller quadrilobe at the center decorated with trefoil ornaments at each lobe. The cross pattee is rendered in the typical Gothic hammered style of Hainaut billon issues, with the inscription running in a continuous legend in the outer field, interrupted by the arms of the cross. The overall design reflects the ecclesiastical and heraldic conventions common to Low Countries monetary production of the early fifteenth century. |
