| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the episcopal crozier of Georges de Saluces rises above a trilobe frame enclosing the coat of arms of the Saluces family, adorned with three roses. The legend, rendered in uncial characters, runs along the outer field. The overall design reflects the Gothic heraldic style typical of episcopal coinage from the Savoy region in the mid-fifteenth century. |

| Reverse description | A bold equal-armed cross with fleurs-de-lis terminals occupies the central field, set within a beaded inner circle. The cross divides the field into four quarters, each plain. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin characters identifies the issuing see of Lausanne and runs along the outer border within the coin's edge. |
