| Obverse description | Central field displays the abbreviated ducal title BRIT TONV arranged on two lines within a beaded inner circle, flanked by two annular rings. The surrounding peripheral legend reads KKAROLLUS : DVX BRIT TONV, identifying Charles as Duke of the Bretons. The lettering is rendered in a Gothic style typical of mid-14th century Breton feudal coinage, with the characteristic doubling of the initial K in the duke's name. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with hammered production of this period. |

| Reverse description | Central design features a cross fleurdelisée, with each arm terminating in fleur-de-lis ornaments, characteristic of Capetian-influenced Breton feudal coinage. The cross divides the reverse field into four quarters. A circular legend surrounds the design, reading MONETA DVPLEX, denoting the denomination as a double coin. The lettering is in Gothic script with a cross pattée as the initial mark, and pellets serve as word dividers. The overall style reflects the influence of Parisian monetary conventions on contemporary Breton issues. |
