| Obverse description | Facing bust of the bishop Herbert van Kleef rendered in a crude Romanesque style, depicted with short striated hair and a stylized beard, wearing ecclesiastical vestments. A crosier or pastoral staff is visible to the right of the figure. A partial Latin legend surrounds the bust along the coin's irregular periphery, partly obscured by weak striking and edge irregularities. |

| Reverse description | A bold cross pattee occupies the central field, with each quadrant containing a lozenge or quatrefoil ornament composed of four pellets or diamond-shaped elements, a characteristic decorative motif of Rhenish and Flemish ecclesiastical coinage of the mid-twelfth century. The cross extends nearly to the inner border, which is formed by a beaded or cable circle. A partial Latin legend encircles the design along the outer periphery, partially legible due to the irregular flan and weak hammer strike. |
