| Obverse description | Frontal bust of a bishop in episcopal vestments, mitred, holding a crozier in the right hand and a bible in the left hand. The effigy is rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner typical of medieval hammered coinage, with the figure occupying the central field. Lettering, where present, surrounds the bust in the outer legend area. |

| Reverse description | The perron of Liège — the emblematic column-pillar symbol of the city — depicted centrally in the field, flanked on either side by a stylized floral ornament. The perron rises from a stepped base, its form rendered in a bold, schematic style characteristic of 13th-century Mosan coinage. The flanking flowers fill the field symmetrically, adding heraldic decoration to the composition. |
