| Obverse description | Within a plain beaded border, a large fleur-de-lis in high relief occupies the central field, its three petals flanked by curved volutes rising from a rounded base, with a small pellet below at the foot of the design. The motif is rendered in bold, deeply struck relief characteristic of medieval bracteate coinage. The irregular flan edge is typical of hand-cut hammered silver of the period. |

| Reverse description | Blank, as is standard for bracteate coinage, which by definition bears a design on one face only, the reverse showing only a mirror-image incuse impression of the obverse design inherent to the thin hammered flan. |
