| Obverse description | Stylized facing head in the 'bléso-chartraine' tradition, flanked on either side by a crescent in the field. A small annulet or pellet appears at the center of the design, with a vertical omega symbol positioned below the head. The overall composition is characteristic of late 12th-century feudal coinage from the Blois-Chartres region, rendered in a schematic, abstract style typical of hammered billon deniers of this period. |

| Reverse description | Plain cross pattée occupying the center of the field, dividing the coin into four quarters; the second and fourth quarters each bear a retrograde or decorative letter S. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design, enclosed within a beaded border. The cross and letter arrangement are characteristic of feudal deniers of the Blois-Chartres monetary tradition from the late 12th century. |
