| Obverse description | An open hand displayed in the field, fingers pointing upward, with a small letter D visible at the base of the palm between the fingers. The design is rendered in low relief typical of medieval hammered coinage. No surrounding legend. The irregular flan exhibits the characteristic uneven edge of hand-struck bracteate-style hellers of the period. |

| Reverse description | A cross with forked or bifurcated terminals occupying a square incuse field, with the letter D appearing at one of the cross ends and an additional D visible in the upper left canton. The cross arms extend to the edges of the incuse square frame, a design typical of the Augsburg episcopal heller coinage of the mid-fourteenth century. The relief is shallow and the flan irregular. |
