| Obverse description | A tall mitre of the Archbishop is depicted centrally within a beaded inner circle, rendered in low relief in the characteristic style of hammered medieval ecclesiastical coinage. The mitre is shown upright with its distinctive peaked form, flanked by the circular Latin legend. The overall composition is typical of mid-14th century French feudal deniers, with the principal charge occupying the full height of the inner field. |

| Reverse description | A plain Latin cross occupies the center of the reverse field, with a small crosslet (cross of Lorraine type) placed in one of the four quarters, a motif characteristic of Arles archiepiscopal coinage of this period. The cross extends to the beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four quadrants. The circular Latin legend encircles the design, and the overall style is consistent with hammered feudal billon deniers of 14th-century Provence. |
