| Obverse description | Central long cross pattée extending to the inner circle, with a small annulet or pellet placed in each of the four angles formed by the arms of the cross. The surrounding field is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, beyond which the circular legend reads in uncial Latin characters. The die is typical of the Anglo-French hammered coinage of the late thirteenth century, with crude but characteristic workmanship. |

| Reverse description | A leopard passant to the left occupies the central field, rendered in the bold, stylized manner characteristic of thirteenth-century Anglo-French hammered coinage. The figure is set within a beaded inner circle, with the surrounding legend in uncial Latin script. The type reflects the heraldic leopard of the English royal arms as employed on the coinage of the County of Ponthieu under English lordship. |
