| Obverse description | Central field features a single horizontal line of text set between two beaded lines, forming a band across the coin. The name ECBERTVS, referencing Count Egbert I, appears within this central band alongside the term MOTA. An outer circular legend surrounds the entire design. The lettering is rendered in a crude Romanesque style typical of Frisian hammered coinage of the mid-eleventh century. |

| Reverse description | A cross pattée occupies the central field, its four angles each containing a bezant, the whole enclosed within an inner beaded circle. A circular legend reading BODLINWE, identifying the mint of Bolsward, runs around the outer border. The cross and pellet arrangement follows a standard Frisian denier type of the period. The striking is characteristically irregular, with the design elements slightly off-center, consistent with hammered coinage technique. |
