Beschrijving voorzijde Flat, irregularly shaped flan bearing a retrograde or divided Latin inscription arranged across the field in multiple lines, reading EL/DEBER/TI R, a corrupt rendering of the royal name and title of Childebert I. The lettering is crudely executed in the Merovingian barbarous style, with letters of varying size and alignment, characteristic of early Frankish municipal coinage. No portrait or figurative element is present; the inscription occupies the entirety of the coin's obverse field. The fabric is rough and the strike off-center, typical of sixth-century hammered silver coinage from the Marseille mint.

Beschrijving keerzijde A Christogram (Chi-Rho monogram) displayed prominently in the center of the field, rendered with trifid or branching arms terminating in small decorative elements, surrounded by a wreath border. The Christogram is boldly struck and occupies most of the reverse surface, with the wreath encircling it forming a beaded or leafy outer frame. The execution is characteristic of Merovingian ecclesiastical symbolism integrated into civic coinage, reflecting the Christian identity of the Frankish kingdom under Childebert I. The strike is irregular and the flan slightly clipped, consistent with the light argenteus denomination of the period.
