| Obverse description | Central device depicts a stylised castle or châtel, rendered in the Aquitaine feudal tradition, with a central turret flanked by smaller towers, all set above a horizontal bar. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by a legend in uncial Latin characters reading EDWARDVS REX AGI E, identifying Edward as King of England. The overall style is characteristic of hammered billon deniers struck for the Duchy of Aquitaine, with bold if irregular letter forms typical of late 13th-century Gascon coinage. |

| Reverse description | A plain, bold cross pattée occupies the centre of the field, dividing it into four equal quadrants. The cross extends to an inner beaded circle, beyond which runs the peripheral legend in uncial Latin characters reading DVX AQIT BVRD, identifying Edward as Duke of Aquitaine and indicating the Bordeaux mint. The execution is typical of hammered feudal billon coinage, with the cross serving as both a religious emblem and a functional design element to aid detection of clipping. |
