| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the Gothic monogram letters 'W' and 'n' (for Wenceslas) occupy the central field, flanked by two rosettes positioned at left and right and three trefoils arranged above and below, all rendered in a bold Gothic style characteristic of 14th-century Brabantine coinage. The surrounding outer legend runs between the inner beaded circle and the irregular hammered rim, separated by a dotted border. The overall composition reflects the heraldic simplicity typical of small billon mijten of the period. |

| Reverse description | A bold cross pattée with slightly flared arms is centered within a beaded or reeded inner circle, its arms nearly reaching the inner boundary, conveying the austere ecclesiastical style common to medieval Low Countries billon coinage. The field within the circle is plain, allowing the cross to dominate the design. The surrounding outer legend, divided by pellets or stops, runs between the reeded circle and the coin's irregular hammered edge. |
