| Obverse description | Draped bust of Frédéric-Maurice de la Tour d'Auvergne facing right, with flowing long hair falling to the shoulder, rendered in a bold relief characteristic of hammered coinage of the period. The portrait is set within the coin's field without an inner circle border. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy reading FRD.M.D.L.T.CO.D.PRI.AV, abbreviating the ruler's titles as Prince of Orange. |

| Reverse description | Six fleurs-de-lis arranged in two rows of three within a plain inner circle, a design closely following the traditional Tournois denier type. The date 1673 is split by the legend, with '1' appearing above and '673' incorporated within the circular inscription. The surrounding Latin legend reads DENIER.TOVRNOIS, identifying the denomination, with pellet stops separating the elements. |
