| Obverse description | Central quatrefoil frame enclosing the Meissen arms: a shield bearing the lion of Meissen charged with multiple cross-crosslets, flanked by stylized lilies in the lobes of the quatrefoil. The entire composition is rendered in bold relief typical of late medieval hammered coinage, with the shield occupying the central field. A circular beaded border surrounds the quatrefoil, with a Gothic Latin legend running within the outer ring. |

| Reverse description | A pointed shield bearing the rampant lion of Meissen, depicted with curling mane and raised forepaw, enclosed within a raised inner circle. A Gothic Latin legend in majuscule letters surrounds the inner circle, reading continuously around the coin, with a beaded outer border framing the entire design. The style is characteristic of the Schildgroschen series issued under the joint rule of the Wettin margraves in the early fifteenth century. |
