| Obverse description | A cross potent raised on a single step occupies the central field, with a pellet positioned in each of the four quadrants formed by the cross arms. The moneyer's name EBRCHAIVS is arranged as a surrounding legend in Latin characters, reading around the periphery of the coin. The design reflects the characteristic Merovingian hammered style, with irregular flan and variable letter spacing typical of late 7th-century Frankish coinage. |

| Reverse description | A central pedestal or column supports a cross at its apex, forming the principal device of the reverse. Two standing figures in profile, identified by numismatic tradition as Saints Gervasius and Protasius, flank the pedestal symmetrically, each figure inclining toward the central cross. The legend CENNOMANIS, the Latin toponym for Le Mans, is arranged around the design beginning at the lower left, serving as a mint signature. The composition is characteristic of Merovingian ecclesiastical coinage referencing local patron saints. |
