| Obverse description | Central field displays a plain cross pattée with a small annulet at the centre, each quadrant containing a pellet or annulet ornament, all enclosed within a plain inner circle. The surrounding legend reads + MONETA HVGONIS in Roman capitals, separated from the inner circle by a plain field. The strike is characteristic of medieval hammered coinage, with an irregularly shaped flan and slightly uneven relief typical of 12th-century Burgundian issues. |

A cross or star motif appears to the right of the central device. The outer legend reads + CABVEO CIVITAS in Roman capitals, denoting the city of Chalon-sur-Saône, on an irregularly shaped hammered flan with variable relief. |
