| Obverse description | A plain cross with slightly expanded arms extends to the inner beaded circle, dividing the field into four quarters. The episcopal initial 'A' appears in two opposite quarters, flanking the cross. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design within the beaded border, reading ✠ ·A·ЄPISCOPI, identifying Adalbert as bishop. The style is typical of late 13th-century French feudal hammered billon coinage. |

| Reverse description | A crozier (bishop's pastoral staff) is depicted facing left within a beaded inner circle, serving as the principal device of the reverse field. The crozier head is rendered in a simplified, stylised manner consistent with hammered feudal coinage of the period. A circular Latin legend borders the design, reading ✠ VIVARIЄN, identifying the mint city of Viviers. The overall composition reflects the episcopal authority of the issuing bishop. |
