| Obverse description | Central field depicts a standing figure, likely a lion rampant or heraldic beast in stylized form, rendered in the crude hammered style characteristic of 13th-century Flemish coinage. The design shows the figure facing left with raised forelimbs, set within a beaded or toothed border. The execution is bold but irregular, consistent with hand-struck maille coinage of the period. The surrounding legend reads MONETA BRUGES in Latin characters, identifying the mint city of Bruges. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large cross pattée at center, with a trefoil or fleur-de-lis ornament in each of the four quarters formed by the arms of the cross. The design is contained within a beaded border typical of hammered medieval Flemish coinage. The bold cross motif is characteristic of 13th-century maille coinage from the County of Flanders. The peripheral legend FLANDRIA in Latin letters identifies the issuing territory. |
