Obverse description Central device consisting of a plain cross potent enclosed within a quadrilobe (four-lobed) frame, all set within a plain inner circle. The cross arms are rendered in a bold, rectilinear style characteristic of medieval hammered billon coinage. A small central pellet marks the crossing point. The surrounding field is flat and unadorned. The peripheral legend in uncial Latin reads + AMEDEVS.COMES, separated from the inner circle by a plain margin.

Reverse description Central device depicting the arms of the County of Geneva — a quartered shield or cross-like emblem — enclosed within a quadrilobe frame set inside a plain inner circle, closely mirroring the obverse composition. The dies show typical medieval hand-hammering irregularities with slight flan weakness at the edges. The surrounding field is flat. The peripheral legend in uncial Latin reads + GEBENNENSIS, identifying the issuing county, and is separated from the inner circle by a plain margin.
