Obverse description The field depicts a gnarled tree whose branches intertwine with four fleur-de-lis plants in high relief, symbolising the union of Provence with France. At the base, two heraldic shields are displayed side by side, representing the coats of arms of France and Provence respectively. The date 1481 appears in the lower exergue, flanked by the engraver's signature O. SINGLA, with the circular legend running along the rim.

Reverse description The reverse presents two full-length figures facing each other in high relief: on the left, a crowned king in royal robes representing the King of France, and on the right, a figure in fur-trimmed garments representing the Count of Provence, their hands clasped together in a gesture of union. Three fleurs-de-lis are visible in the left field, and a bare tree appears to the right. No legend is present on this side.
