| Obverse description | Frontal effigy of the seated count, shown full-face in a stylized Romanesque manner, holding a sword upright in his right hand and a palm branch in his left, emblematic of his participation in the First Crusade. The figure is rendered in low relief within a beaded inner circle. The peripheral legend reads MONETA ROBERTI COMITIS, identifying this as the money of Count Robert, separated from the central type by a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A cross pattee occupies the central field, its four arms extending nearly to the inner beaded circle, with the cantons charged alternately with two open hands and two facing human heads in profile, alluding to Robert II's epithet as the Crusader count. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, beyond which the peripheral legend +HIEROSOLIMITANI runs in Latin characters, referencing Jerusalem and confirming the count's sobriquet. |
