| Obverse description | Facing bust of Saint Maurice rendered in archaic medieval style, the effigy depicted with stylized facial features including a short beard, set within a plain inner circle enclosed by a beaded border. The saint's head is shown slightly turned, with linear hair treatment characteristic of late 13th-century French feudal coinage. The surrounding circular legend reads SANCTVS MAVRICIVS, separated by a cross pattée and pellet ornaments, referencing the patron saint of the Archbishopric of Vienne. |

| Reverse description | A bold cross pattée divides the reverse field into four quarters, each containing one letter of the city name VIEN, the initial letters of Viennensis, arranged symmetrically around the cross arms. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a further outer beaded border framing the circular legend. The overall layout is characteristic of the French feudal gros type, following the model established by the royal gros tournois of Saint Louis. |
