| Obverse description | Frontal bust of Saint Majolus rendered in a schematic Romanesque style, facing left, wearing a mitre and ecclesiastical vestments. The crozier is depicted before him in the field. The bust is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circular legend surrounding it. The portrait is stylized and typical of medieval feudal coinage, with broad facial features and clearly delineated vestments. |

| Reverse description | A short cross pattée at center, dividing the reverse field into four quarters. The letters B and D appear in two opposite angles of the cross, while stylized flower petals occupy the remaining two angles. The design is contained within a beaded inner circle, with the circular legend distributed around the periphery. The overall composition is characteristic of anonymous feudal deniers of the Bourbonnais region. |
