| Obverse description | A plain cross pattée occupies the center of the coin, dividing the field into four quarters, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend, rendered in uncial Latin characters, reads ED REX AnGLIE, identifying Edward as King of England. The type is typical of Anglo-Gascon feudal coinage, struck in the hammered tradition with characteristic irregular flan shape. The cross design is bold and deeply struck, with slightly flared arms. The beaded border frames the central motif cleanly despite the irregularity of the planchet. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized leopard or lion passant gardant — the heraldic emblem of the Duchy of Aquitaine and the English royal house — positioned centrally within a beaded inner circle. The creature is rendered in the schematic, flat style characteristic of 14th-century Anglo-Gascon billon coinage. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin reads DVX AQITAnIE G, proclaiming Edward's title as Duke of Aquitaine. The beaded inner circle is clearly defined, and the outer edge of the flan is irregular, consistent with hand-hammered production. The reverse type, combining the ducal title with the heraldic beast, asserts both Edward's political authority and his feudal claim over Gascony. |
