| Obverse lettering | LODOVICVS REX |
| Reverse description | A plain cross occupies the central field, with a chevron appearing in each of the second and third cantons, a distinctive arrangement serving as a local mint identifier for Étampes. The legend STAMPIS CASTELLVM encircles the design, identifying the issuing castle or fortified town of Étampes. The strike is typical of early 12th-century feudal hammered coinage, with uneven pressure resulting in weak areas across the flan. The overall style is consistent with Capetian royal issues of the reign of Louis VI. |
