Obverse description Stylized architectural or heraldic device occupies the central field, rendered in a schematic medieval manner characteristic of feudal billon coinage. The design features a rectangular panel containing a circular element, flanked by decorative motifs and bordered above by a row of crenellations or cable-like ornament. Two small pellets or roundels appear in the lower portion of the field. The overall composition is typical of anonymous feudal deniers, with a bold, simplified graphic style suited to hammered production.

Reverse description A bold plain cross with slightly expanded arms divides the reverse field into four quarters, a standard design for medieval feudal deniers. The surrounding legend, reading * I COMES PERTICI, identifies the issuer as the Count of Perche, arranged within a beaded or linear inner circle. Small decorative marks or pellets appear between the arms of the cross. The lettering is rendered in a crude but legible Romanesque epigraphic style consistent with early 13th-century hammered coinage of the Perche region.
