| Obverse description | Central shield of Loon displaying multiple horizontal bars (barry), rendered in relief within a beaded border encircling the entire field. The shield occupies the majority of the flan, with the horizontal divisions clearly articulated. Surrounding the shield, a circular legend in Latin reads the coin's attribution to Loon. The overall execution is characteristic of 13th-century Low Countries hammered coinage, with an irregular flan and bold, unrefined die work. |

| Reverse description | A Brabant-style cross with expanded terminals divides the reverse into four quarters, each containing a single letter — B, A, S, and T — positioned in the respective angles of the cross. These letters form the name BAST, representing the initials or abbreviated name of the moneyer Bastinus. The design is enclosed within a beaded border, consistent with the obverse treatment, and the flan is irregular in outline, typical of hammered medieval small coinage. |
