| Obverse description | Armored knight on horseback galloping to the left, holding a lance or sword raised, depicted in the medieval equestrian style typical of early 14th-century seigneurial coinage. The horse is shown in full stride with flowing mane. The central design is enclosed within a plain inner circle, with the surrounding circular legend in uncial Gothic lettering separated from the field by a beaded border. The overall composition closely follows the type popularized by contemporary French royal and baronial gros coinage. |

| Reverse description | A plain Latin cross with equal arms occupies the center of the field, set within a beaded inner circle. The quadrants formed by the arms of the cross are plain. An inner legend in uncial Gothic lettering runs between the inner beaded circle and an outer beaded border, with a second concentric legend in the outermost register. The overall design follows the standard gros tournois type widely imitated by French seigneurial lords in the early 14th century. |
