Obverse description Central field features a plain cross pattée set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend, reading HVGVO BRVNNI in Gothic Latin characters, runs clockwise between the inner and outer beaded borders. The design is characteristic of feudal French hammered coinage of the late 13th century, with a simple, bold cross dominating the composition.

Reverse description Central field displays a composite symbol consisting of a cross fleury or cross with crescents and small crosses arranged around a central point, all set within a beaded inner circle, evoking the heraldic imagery of the Counts of La Marche. The surrounding legend, reading * COMES MARCHIE in Latin majuscules, runs clockwise between the inner and outer beaded borders. The design is typical of feudal feudal billon or silver deniers issued by the lords of La Marche during the late Capetian period.
