| Obverse description | Stylized depiction of a church or chapel facade viewed frontally, rendered in a schematic Romanesque manner within a plain inner circle. The architectural motif features a central tower or portal with flanking elements and small pellets suggesting decorative detail. The surrounding field is occupied by a beaded outer border interspersed with annulets and cross-pattee ornaments, giving the legend area a distinctive decorative character typical of Capetian feudal coinage. The Latin legend naming Philip as king runs around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | A bold, plain cross with a small omega symbol or annulet positioned in the lower left angle of the cross, centrally placed within a plain inner circle. The cross divides the inner field into four quarters in the manner characteristic of early Capetian deniers. An outer border of beaded pearls frames a peripheral Latin legend identifying the mint town of Dreux (Drucas), with additional omega-derived ornamental characters interspersed among the letters, reflecting the archaic epigraphy of 11th-century French feudal coinage. |
