| Obverse description | A fleur-de-lis rendered in low relief occupies the central field, enclosed within a plain inner circle. The design is characteristic of the crude hammered penning coinage of medieval Denmark, with an irregular flan typical of the period. The surrounding field is plain and unlettered. The overall style reflects the simplified heraldic vocabulary common to North Jutland bracteate-influenced issues of the late 13th and early 14th centuries. |

| Reverse description | A plain cross with a pellet or annulet placed in each of the four angles between the arms occupies the central field. The cross extends toward the rim, dividing the flan into four equal quadrants. The design is unlettered and the flan is irregular, consistent with hammered billon coinage of medieval Denmark. The execution is crude, reflecting the small module and low-value denomination typical of North Jutland penning issues under Erik Menved. |
