| Obverse description | Central field dominated by an elaborate floriated cross composed of interlacing foliage and fleurs-de-lis, with a prominent fleur-de-lis rising from the center of the cross. The four quadrants formed by the cross arms are filled with ornate Gothic foliate scrollwork. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circumferential legend in Gothic uncial lettering running between the inner circle and the coin's edge. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts the tilted Bourbon heraldic shield bearing fleurs-de-lis and a diagonal bend, surmounted by a plumed helm with mantling, and flanked on either side by a rampant lion acting as supporter. The shield and supporters are rendered in a late Gothic heraldic style characteristic of the mid-fifteenth century Low Countries. The design is contained within a beaded inner circle, with the circumferential legend in Gothic uncial lettering occupying the outer margin. |
