| Beschrijving voorzijde | A Latin cross pattée occupies the central field, cantoned by a bezant in the first and second quarters. The cross is set within a beaded inner circle, around which runs the peripheral legend in retrograde-style rustic capitals. The die-cutting exhibits the characteristic crudeness of mid-eleventh-century feudal hammered coinage from southern France. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The royal name REX is arranged in a triangular monogram formation at the centre of the field, reflecting the Carolingian monogram tradition adapted for feudal coinage. The letters are boldly rendered in relief within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by a circular peripheral legend in rustic Latin capitals. The flan is irregular and the strike characteristically uneven, consistent with hammered silver obol production of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henri I of France granted Raymond IV of Toulouse the right to strike coins jointly in the king's name sometime in the mid-eleventh century — an arrangement that produced this curious bilingual authority, with both the Toulousain count and the Capetian crown sharing nominal credit on a single piece. The pairing reflects the fragile political accommodations of a period when the French crown's direct reach into the Midi was largely theoretical.
The "Pons" reference points to the bridge toll coinage tradition deeply embedded in Toulousain monetary practice.
