| Obverse description | Crude bust of the count facing right, depicted in a schematic, early medieval style typical of Carolingian-influenced Catalan coinage. The figure appears helmeted or crowned, with rudimentary facial features rendered in low relief. A dotted border runs along the coin's periphery. The overall design reflects the primitive die-cutting technique characteristic of 11th-century hammered deniers from the County of Girona. |

| Reverse description | A long cross with splayed or plain arms occupies the central field, dividing the reverse into four quadrants, a standard design element of 11th-century Catalan feudal coinage. Abbreviated lettering referencing the count's name appears around or within the quadrants. The strike is irregular and partially flat, consistent with the hand-hammered production method. The flan is irregular and shows typical surface porosity associated with early medieval silver of this region. |
