| Obverse description | Central field features a plain Greek cross in raised relief, set within a recessed circular depression on a broad, flat flan. Surrounding the cross, a circular legend in Latin capital letters reads AVDO OBSE with the date 1638 below, referencing the siege of Saint-Omer. The lettering and cross are crudely struck, consistent with the emergency nature of the issue. The overall design is stark and functional, devoid of ornamental detail. |

| Reverse description | Plain, uniface reverse with no design, legend, or inscription of any kind. The surface is entirely blank, displaying only the natural texture of the roughly prepared silver flan, with scattered contact marks and die pressure visible across the field, characteristic of hastily produced siege coinage. |
