| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the arms of the Bishopric of Minden — two crossed keys in pale — rendered in low relief within a plain inner circle. The shield occupies the majority of the field, with no surrounding legend. The hammered flan displays an irregular edge characteristic of small medieval bracteate-style pfennig coinage. |

| Reverse description | Blank, uniface strike with no design, inscription, or devices. The reverse shows only the unworked surface of the hammered flan, consistent with the bracteate or semi-bracteate tradition of small northern German ecclesiastical coinage of the late sixteenth century. |
