| Obverse description | Stylized bust of Saint Peter in right-facing profile, rendered in a simplified Romanesque manner characteristic of early medieval ecclesiastical coinage. The saint is depicted holding a key before him, his principal attribute as gatekeeper of Heaven. The effigy is surrounded by a border of pellets arranged in a circular pattern around the coin's field, a decorative convention typical of Lotharingian abbatial deniers of this period. |

| Reverse description | A central pattée-style cross divides the reverse field into four quarters, with globules (pellets) placed in the first and fourth angles and fleur-de-lis ornaments occupying the second and third angles. The design is contained within a double border of pellets, consistent with Lotharingian hammered billon coinage of the 11th to 13th centuries. The overall composition is characteristic of abbatial issues struck in the name of the Abbey of Remiremont, dedicated to Saint Romaric. |
