| Obverse description | Crude, stylized bust of a figure facing right, depicted in a rough, barbarous style characteristic of early Frankish coinage. The effigy is laureate, rendered with minimal detail typical of the late Merovingian period. A partial Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading +[...] DERAMNUS, likely referencing a monetary authority or moneyer's name. The overall execution reflects the degenerate artistic tradition of post-Roman Gaulish die-cutting. |

| Reverse description | A stylized bird, likely a schematic representation of an eagle or similar fowl, depicted standing to the right within a dotted inner border. The design is rendered in the highly abstract, degenerate style typical of Merovingian Poitevin coinage of the late 7th to early 8th century. A partial Latin legend surrounds the motif, referencing the mint of Poitiers. The overall composition is characteristic of provincial Frankish monetary art, with the bird serving as a local mint type identifier. |
