| Obverse description | Two standing figures face one another in the central field: a robed female personification on the right offers a crown and an olive branch to an armored male figure on the left, with a cityscape of Arras visible in the background at ground level. An ornamental finial appears in the exergue. The circular Latin legend reads around the beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The central device depicts a detailed cartographic plan of the Île des Faisans (Pheasant Island) shown as an oval landmass, connected to both shores by two pontoon boat bridges rendered in low relief. The design is set within a beaded inner circle with the date 1660 in the lower exergue. The circular Latin legend runs around the outer beaded border. |
