| Obverse description | Central field features a bold pattée cross with ornate, slightly cusped arms, enclosed within an inner beaded circle. The cross divides the inner field into four quadrants, each plain. A circular legend in uncial Latin characters runs between the inner beaded circle and the outer toothed border, reading the name and title of Jean Tristan, son of the King of France. The overall style is characteristic of mid-thirteenth-century French feudal coinage, with irregular flan and hand-hammered fabric evident throughout. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a six-pointed star or stylized fleur-de-lis motif within an inner circle, surrounded by additional smaller star-like ornaments, all characteristic of Capetian feudal iconography. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a circular uncial Latin legend occupying the area between the inner circle and the outer toothed border, naming the County of Nevers. The hammered flan exhibits the typical irregular outline and uneven relief of mid-thirteenth-century French seigneurial deniers. |
