| Obverse description | A plain cross pattée occupies the central field, with pellets or small ornamental stops positioned in the angles between the cross arms. The surrounding circular legend reads KAROLVS REX, identifying the issuer as Charles, King. The entire design is characteristic of the denier tournois type, struck by hand with irregular flan edges typical of medieval hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylised châtel tournois (castle tournois), the emblematic tower device derived from the royal Capetian denier tournois, with a cross surmounting the central turret and three pellets arranged within the structure. The encircling legend reads DE NAVARRA, denoting the territorial title of Navarre. The design closely follows the established tournois typology, rendered in the rough, boldly-struck style characteristic of feudal billon deniers of the mid-fourteenth century. |
