| 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. |
