| Obverse description | In the central field, the monogram RA surmounted by a small stylized horn or cornet, serving as the heraldic emblem of the Principality of Orange. The design is executed in a primitive, bold relief characteristic of medieval feudal hammered coinage. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, interrupted by pellet stops. The overall fabric is irregular, consistent with hand-struck billon production of the early fourteenth century. |

| Reverse description | A plain cross pattée occupies the central field, its splayed arms nearly reaching a beaded inner circle that encloses the design. The cross divides the field into four equal quadrants. A circular Latin legend surrounds the beaded border, with pellet stops separating the abbreviated words. The execution is typical of small feudal billon hammered coinage, with slightly uneven strike pressure resulting in variable relief across the flan. |
