| Obverse description | Standing figure of Saint Peter, nimbate, depicted frontally within an eleven-arc polylobe, holding the keys of heaven in his left hand and an open book in his right. Beneath his feet is an heraldic shield of Burgundy quarterly, with a lion at center and a single fleur-de-lis in the first and fourth quadrants. The circumferential legend in Gothic uncial lettering is divided by the figure and punctuated by double saltires. The overall composition reflects the refined Burgundian Gothic style of the early fifteenth century. |

| Reverse description | An elaborate floriated cross occupying the full field, with curvilinear foliate branches terminating in trefoil and scroll motifs in each quadrant, and a prominent rosette at the center crossing point. The four quadrants are richly ornamented with spiraling floral and leaf designs in the late Gothic Burgundian tradition, creating a dense and symmetrical decorative composition. The circumferential legend in Gothic uncial lettering runs between two concentric beaded borders and is punctuated by star-shaped stops. |
