| Obverse description | Armored knight in full gallop to the right, mounted on a prancing horse, the rider raising a sword aloft in his right hand in a striking posture. The figure is rendered in crude but vigorous relief typical of medieval feudal coinage, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The hammered fabric results in an irregular flan with variable strike depth across the design. |

| Reverse description | A cross pattée occupies the central field, with arms widening toward the extremities in the characteristic medieval fashion. The cross is surrounded by a circular Latin legend reading HENRICVS: CO, identifying the issuing count, enclosed between two beaded circles. The lettering is rendered in Gothic-influenced characters typical of 13th-century Lotharingian feudal coinage, with moderate relief on the hammered flan. |
