| Obverse description | Central field bears a plain cross pattée with a group of three pellets arranged in a triangular formation in the upper-right angle. The cross is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, outside of which the Latin legend runs in the surrounding field. The hammered flan is irregular in outline, typical of mid-11th-century feudal coinage from southern France. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the Greek letters Alpha and Omega, each suspended by a bar or bracket, with pellets positioned above each letter, evoking the Carolingian ecclesiastical monogram tradition. The motif is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend occupying the surrounding field. The design reflects the strong religious symbolism common to feudal deniers of the Gascon region in the early 11th century. |
