| Obverse description | Bust of Saint Domitian facing right, holding a crozier before him, rendered in the crude Romanesque style typical of 11th-century episcopal deniers. The effigy is depicted with schematic drapery and stylized facial features characteristic of hammered coinage of the Meuse valley. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device within the coin's irregular field. |

| Reverse description | Frontal nimbate bust of the Virgin Mary (Orant type), portrayed facing with a prominent halo encircling the head, rendered in a flat, stylized Romanesque manner consistent with Mosan artistic conventions of the late 11th century. The bust is centrally positioned within the field, surrounded by a circular Latin legend. The die work is characteristic of anonymous episcopal issues struck at the Huy mint. |
