| Obverse description | A chrismated cross (croix chrismée) occupies the center of the obverse field, its arms extending nearly to the inner border. The cross is accompanied by decorative elements in the angles, characteristic of Capetian feudal coinage. A beaded inner circle separates the central motif from the surrounding circular legend. The retrograde or irregular Latin inscription PHILIPVS REX runs along the outer margin, identifying the issuing monarch as King Philip I of France. The overall style is typical of the crude, hand-hammered feudal deniers of the late 11th to early 12th century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a large capital letter B in the center of the field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle, serving as a monogram or initial for the mint city of Chalon-sur-Saône (Cabilonensis). The central motif is surrounded by a radiating or stylized floral border between two concentric beaded rings. The circular Latin legend CABILONIS runs along the outer margin, denoting the mint of Chalon-sur-Saône. A small cross appears at the top of the legend as a stops or initial mark. The execution is characteristic of provincial Capetian hammered silver coinage of the late 11th and early 12th centuries. |
