| Obverse description | Central design composed of two overlapping triangles oriented in opposite directions, forming a hexagrammic figure. One triangle bears annulets at each apex, while the other displays fleur-de-lis at its points. Small ringlets occupy each corner of the field, and a large pellet is placed at the center of the composition. The overall design is geometric and heraldic in character, consistent with anonymous Flemish coinage of the late twelfth to early thirteenth century. |

| Reverse description | A cross pattée intersects an inner beaded or linear circle, with a pellet placed in each of the four quarters within that circle. In the annular zone between the inner and outer circles, two annulets with central dots are positioned in each angle, creating a decorative border of eight such elements in total. The design is strictly geometric, with no legend, typical of anonymous mailles struck at the Ypres mint during this period. |
