| Obverse description | Central fortified tower with a pointed, cross-hatched roof surmounted by a globule, flanked on each side by a narrower, shorter tower or turret. The central tower features horizontal banded stonework in the body and a small arched gateway at the base. The composition is rendered in the flat, stylized manner typical of early 13th-century Brabantine hammered coinage, with pellets adorning the upper field flanking the towers. |

| Reverse description | A floriated or ornate cross of Brabant occupying the full field, with each arm terminating in a trefoil or forked finial, set within a dotted inner circle. In each of the four angles formed by the cross, a central pellet is surrounded by a dotted annulet, creating a distinctive decorative arrangement. The entire device is enclosed within a beaded outer border, characteristic of the Vilvoorde mint's output under Duke Henry I. |
