| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the arms of Oldenburg — three horizontal bars (fesses) — displayed within a plain inner circle. The shield is set within a broad raised border decorated with radial striations, giving the coin a characteristic serrated or roped appearance at the periphery. The design is unadorned by any legend or inscription, relying solely on the heraldic device for identification. The fields are flat and unlettered, consistent with the minimalist coinage of the County of Oldenburg in this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely blank and uninscribed, presenting a flat, featureless field with no design, legend, or device. This uniface style is characteristic of small-denomination hammered bracteate-influenced coinage of northern German territories in the late medieval and early modern period. |
