| Obverse description | Facing crowned episcopal bust depicted in high relief within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the characteristic Gothic style of early 14th-century Lotharingian coinage. The bust is shown full-face with naturalistic facial features, wavy hair falling to the sides, and a prominent crown surmounting the head. The field surrounding the bust is plain, bounded by the inner beaded circle. A Latin circumscription runs between the inner beaded circle and the outer toothed or starred border of the flan. |

| Reverse description | A bold long cross extends to the edge of the coin, dividing the reverse into four quadrants, each containing three pellets arranged in a triangular pattern — a design typical of the sterling coinage widely imitated across the Lorraine region in the early 14th century. An inner beaded circle frames the cross and pellet groupings, while the Latin legend is distributed between the beaded circle and the irregular outer edge of the flan. The style closely follows English and French sterling prototypes of the period. |
