| Obverse description | Central field displays the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) standing to the left, bearing a long cross-staff from which a pennant or banner flies to the right, all set within a cusped Gothic polylobed inner circle. The lamb is rendered in fine relief with detailed fleece, its head turned back toward the cross. A small cross pattee appears above the lamb's head at the top of the inner arch. The circumferential legend in uncial Latin reads: AGN DEI QVI TOLL PECAT mODI mISE nOBIS, followed by the initials H D R referencing the joint lords Hendrik van Diest and the Rummen lordship, enclosed between an inner and outer beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Central design features a floriated cross with fleurs-de-lis at each terminal, dividing the field into four quarters, each canton containing a fleur-de-lis beneath a small crown, arranged symmetrically around the cross centre. A decorative cusped quatrefoil or lozenge frames the cross junction at the centre, with additional floral or trefoil ornaments filling the interstices. The circumferential legend in uncial Latin reads the Christus Vincit formula, separated by ornamental rosette stops, enclosed within a beaded border. The overall composition reflects the standard Agnel reverse type derived from French royal coinage prototypes. |
