| Obverse lettering | ✠ GOSEDVS COS (Translation: Geoffrey, count.) |
| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized castle or architectural motif in the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle, representing the castle of Gien. The surrounding legend reads ✠ GIEMIS CΛ (Castle of Gien), distributed around the outer field in medieval Latin characters. The design is characteristic of feudal coinage of the Loire region, with the architectural emblem serving as the heraldic symbol of the county. The flan is irregular and slightly porous, consistent with billon hammered coinage of the early 12th century. |
