| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the heraldic shield of the Berlaymont family, displaying three horizontal bands of merlons (créneaux), rendered in relief within a beaded or rope inner circle. The shield is depicted in a plain, unadorned style typical of late 16th-century ecclesiastical coinage of the Low Countries. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading from the upper left and separated by mullets or crosses as punctuation marks. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a crowned cartouche or oval shield displaying the arms of Cambrésis, featuring a rampant lion, surmounted by a bishop's or archbishop's crown, all within a beaded inner circle. The execution is characteristic of hammered coinage of the period, with some irregularity in strike. A circular Latin legend surrounds the shield, with word divisions marked by mullets or crosses, attributing the title of archbishop and duke of Cambrai by the grace of God. |
