| Obverse description | Crowned heraldic shield bearing a lion rampant, the arms of the Aspremont-Lynden family, centrally positioned in the field. A partial Latin legend encircles the device along the periphery, largely worn but partially legible. The piece exhibits a somewhat irregular flan typical of hammered copper coinage of the period. The crown above the shield is of the open style associated with lordly rank. |

| Reverse description | Large interlaced monogram composed of the letters F and R, referencing Ferdinand (lord of Reckem), prominently struck in the central field. A partial Latin circular legend surrounds the monogram along the rim, with the inscription partially legible as DOMINVS or similar lordship titulature. A small star or ornament appears above the monogram as a divider. The overall design is characteristic of the small feudal copper coinage of the Spanish Netherlands in the seventeenth century. |
