| Obverse description | Central cross pattée with a pellet in each of the four quarters, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The peripheral legend runs along the outer rim of the flan in Latin characters. The striking is typical of early medieval hammered coinage, with an irregular flan and somewhat uneven relief throughout the field. |

| Reverse description | A stylized Calvary cross — a cross mounted upon stepped or tiered base — flanked on either side by crescents, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The design is characteristic of Norman feudal coinage of the late tenth and early eleventh centuries, reflecting both religious iconography and ducal authority. The surrounding legend is struck along the outer edge of the irregular flan. |
