| Obverse description | Central field displays the shield of Luxembourg bearing a rampant lion to sinister, rendered on a barry (horizontally barred) ground in the medieval heraldic tradition. The shield is depicted in low relief typical of hammered coinage of the period. The design fills the flan with bold, angular lines characteristic of 13th-century Luxembourgish moneying. A circular legend in uncial Latin characters surrounds the central device, bounded by a beaded inner circle. |

| Reverse description | A small patted (pattée) cross occupies the central field, its splayed terminals clearly defined within a plain inner circle. The cross is enclosed between two concentric circles of pearls forming an annular border, a stylistic device common to medieval Luxembourgish deniers. A circular uncial Latin legend runs between the pearl borders, enclosing the entire composition. The overall arrangement follows the standard denier tournois reverse type prevalent in the Low Countries during the late 13th century. |
