Obverse description A large isosceles cross occupies the central field, its arms extending nearly to the coin's edge. A small annulet is placed in each of the four angles formed by the cross arms, serving as decorative fillers. The design is rendered in low relief typical of 11th-century hammered ecclesiastical coinage, with no surrounding legend. The flan is irregular and shows characteristic pinching at four points on the periphery.

Reverse description The reverse is entirely blank, with no design, inscription, or decorative element struck upon it. The surface shows the irregular texture characteristic of a plain hammered flan, with natural flow lines and surface corrosion consistent with the coin's medieval age and low silver fineness.
