| Obverse description | Central field depicting a crowned heraldic device or armorial motif, likely the arms of the Lordship of Kuinre, rendered in a bold, primitive hammered style characteristic of minor Dutch feudal issues of the early fourteenth century. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding marginal legend in Latin reads + IOHANS DNI DE CVNRE, identifying John I as Lord of Kuinre. The overall execution is irregular, reflecting the limited die-cutting resources of a small lordship mint. The coin's surfaces show typical billon patination consistent with extended circulation. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a bold cross pattee or long cross motif, a common type on medieval Low Countries billon coinage, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The cross divides the field into quadrants, each of which may contain subsidiary heraldic or decorative elements, though strike weakness and flan irregularity obscure fine detail. The marginal legend in Latin reads + SIGNVM CRVSIS + MONETA.I.CVRE.I.OMI:DOMI, proclaiming the sign of the cross and identifying this as the coinage of the Lordship of Kuinre. The hammered flan exhibits characteristic unevenness along the edges. The overall style conforms to northern Low Countries feudal coinage conventions of the first third of the fourteenth century. |
