| Obverse description | A dragon depicted in profile with its body oriented to the left and its head turned back to the right, rendered in the bold, stylized relief characteristic of 12th-century Brabantine hammered coinage. The creature's limbs, claws, and tail are rendered with elongated, schematic lines typical of Romanesque heraldic art. Two pellets appear in the left field. No legend is present on this side. |

| Reverse description | A plain cross divides the reverse field into four quarters, with alternating annelets (ring pellets) and small crosses placed in the angles, creating a symmetrical decorative composition. A circular legend of repeating cross and N characters runs along the periphery, characteristic of the abbreviated or ornamental inscriptions common to Low Countries medieval deniers. |
