| Obverse description | Central cross pattée occupying the field, with two annulets placed diagonally in opposing cantons, all within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads EDOARDVS REX, identifying the issuer as King Edward. The strike is characteristic of hammered medieval coinage, showing irregular flan edges and some weakness in the peripheral lettering. The cross arms are bold and well-defined, lending the design a robust, heraldic quality typical of late 13th-century Anglo-French feudal issues. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a two-line legend divided by horizontal rules, with the mint name PONTI appearing in the upper register and MONETA in the lower, separated by a central horizontal bar. An X-shaped motif flanked by two annulets occupies the central dividing zone between the two lines of text. The entire design is contained within a beaded border, consistent with hammered deniers of the Ponthieu series. The lettering is Gothic in character and exhibits the bold, compact style typical of feudal coinage struck under Edward I's authority in the County of Ponthieu. |
