| Obverse description | A fully armored knight depicted in left-facing profile, mounted on a galloping horse whose caparison and the rider's armor are decorated with small crosses throughout. The knight raises a sword aloft in his right hand in a commanding martial pose. The design is executed in the vigorous Gothic style characteristic of mid-14th century Brabantine gold coinage. The circumferential legend is separated from the central device by a beaded inner circle. |

| Reverse description | A voided and floriated triple cross, composed of three interlocking crosslets, is centered within a quadrilobe frame. Ornamental trefoils occupy each of the four exterior angles formed between the lobes, lending the design a refined Gothic decorative character. The central cross motif is rendered in a delicate, open-work style. The circumferential legend, invoking the triumph of Christ, runs between a beaded inner circle and the outer rim. |
