| Obverse description | Large cross potent at center, each arm terminating in a globule, with additional globules or pellets in the angles between the arms. The cross is set within a beaded inner circle, the whole composition characteristic of the Byzantine-influenced hammered coinage of the Crusader states. The flan is irregular and slightly chipped, typical of the workshop output of early twelfth-century Edessa. |

| Reverse description | Three-line Greek inscription within a beaded inner circle, reading the name and title of the count. The lettering is bold but crudely struck, consistent with the provincial hammered technique of the County of Edessa. The legend fills the central field, surrounded by a dotted border, and the flan shows the characteristic irregularity of this series. |
