| Obverse description | Central field features a plain Latin cross with squared terminals, set within a beaded inner circle. The cross divides the central area into four equal quadrants. Surrounding the beaded circle, a Latin legend runs along the entire circumference beginning with a cross pattée. The overall style is characteristic of medieval feudal billon coinage, struck on an irregularly shaped flan with moderately bold relief. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a bold Latin cross with squared arm-ends occupying most of the inner circle, which is defined by a prominent beaded border. The four quadrants formed by the cross are plain. A circular Latin legend surrounds the beaded border, commencing with a cross pattée, rendered in Gothic-influenced lettering typical of southern French feudal deniers of the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with hammered production. |
