| Obverse description | Two-line central legend within the field reading CRE / SPI, denoting Crépy-en-Valois, surrounded by a circular border. The outer legend reads PHILIPVS COMS, identifying Philip as Count, distributed around the periphery in Latin characters. The overall design is characteristic of late 12th-century feudal billon coinage, with an irregular flan and crude but legible lettering typical of hammered provincial issues. |

| Reverse description | A bold central cross pattée divides the field into four quarters, with two S-shaped ornaments and two crescents each containing a central pellet placed in alternating angles of the cross. A circular legend surrounds the design, reading SIMON FECIT, attributing the striking of the coin to the moneyer Simon. The composition is enclosed within a beaded or plain circular border, consistent with feudal hammered coinage of the Capetian period. |
