| Obverse description | Central field features a large V-form monogram flanked by the Greek letters alpha and omega, serving as Christological symbols appended to either side of the V. The design is executed in the characteristic Carolingian monogram tradition, with the letters rendered in a bold, angular style typical of early Capetian coinage. The surrounding circular legend reads PHILIPPVS REX in Latin capitals, identifying the issuing monarch, Philip I of France. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-hammered production of the period. |

| Reverse description | A plain Latin cross occupies the center of the field, its shaft slightly elongated, with a small pellet or annulet at the intersection of the arms. Three pellets appear above the cross, a decorative element common to Parisian deniers of the early Capetian period. The surrounding circular legend reads PAISIVS CIVITAS, identifying Paris as the city of issue, with the lettering separated by a series of triple dots. The flan is irregular, with weak striking visible in places, characteristic of hammered coinage of the eleventh century. |
