| Obverse description | Armored knight in profile facing right, bearing a sword raised over his right shoulder. A fleur-de-lis appears in the right field beside the figure. The heraldic chevron of Brabant is visible in the lower portion of the field. The overall style is characteristic of crude medieval hammered coinage, with flat, broad relief typical of late 12th- to early 13th-century Low Countries deniers. |

| Reverse description | A stylized architectural structure, rendered as a simplified building or tower with a tree or branch motif rising above or beside it, occupying the central field. The design is executed in the crude, schematic manner typical of hammered deniers from the Meuse valley region, with minimal detail preserved due to the irregular flan and the striking technique of the period. |
