| Obverse description | A fleur-de-lis occupies the central field, flanked on each side by a three-leaf clover motif. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded (pearl) circle. The surface shows typical casting characteristics associated with Low Countries coin weights of the period. |

| Reverse description | The date, partially legible, appears in the upper portion of the field within a beaded circle, with the maker's initials G.G. (for Gerrit Geens) positioned below the date. The inscription is consistent with the workshop practice of Antwerp coin weight makers who stamped their personal initials as a mark of accountability and authenticity. |
