| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized heraldic device, likely a castle or architectural motif, enclosed within a plain inner circle and surrounded by a beaded border. The hammered flan is irregular and shows characteristic medieval striking flatness. A Latin legend in uncial script runs along the outer border, invoking the name of Count Gaucher and including a Marian invocation. The overall style is typical of early 14th-century French feudal coinage, with bold but somewhat crude engraving. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a cross pattée with decorated terminals, each arm flanked by small pellets or trefoil ornaments, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The cross design follows the standard Double Parisis type closely associated with the royal Parisian monetary tradition. A Latin legend in uncial script encircles the design, identifying the county of Porcien. The reverse exhibits typical high-relief hammered striking characteristics with an irregular flan edge and dark billon patina. |
