| Obverse description | Central field features a plain cross pattée set within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by a stylised Gothic architectural border composed of turrets and lobed elements. The overall composition is characteristic of the Tournois-influenced coinage of the late 13th-century Lotharingian region. A circular legend in uncial Latin characters runs between the inner and outer beaded borders, reading the count's title and name. The flan is irregular, as typical of hammered medieval silver, with slight weakness at the edges. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the crowned and armed effigy of Count Henri VII seated frontally, rendered in a hieratic Gothic style, holding a sceptre in his right hand and an orb or shield in his left, enclosed within a pointed or rounded inner border. The figure is flanked by decorative elements consistent with contemporary Lotharingian seigneurial coinage. A circular legend in uncial Latin letters runs between the inner and outer beaded borders, identifying the mint. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and uneven strike associated with hand-hammered medieval issues. |
