The effigy shows a stylized helmeted or crowned head with rudimentary facial features and a beaded or lined hair treatment characteristic of 13th-century Low Countries hammered coinage.

| Reverse description | A voided cross with globules or pellets at each of the four terminals, centered within a plain inner circle. The arms of the cross are bold and evenly proportioned, with the voiding giving a double-armed appearance typical of medieval Netherlandish deniers of this period. The surrounding legend reads HOLLANT in Latin capitals, preceded by a cross pattée, identifying the County of Holland as the issuing authority. |
