| Obverse description | Central device depicts a small bust or head facing left, set within a plain shield-shaped escutcheon occupying the majority of the flan. The device is rendered in low relief characteristic of hammered bracteate-style minor coinage, with the surrounding field flat and unadorned. No legend or inscription is present. The irregular flan edges are typical of hand-cut blanks used for small silver heller coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central device features a multi-rayed cross pattée or star motif with flared terminals, centrally placed within a plain square frame set on its diagonal (lozenge orientation) within a rounded shield. Four small pellets are positioned at the cardinal points between the cross arms and the inner frame corners, a characteristic arrangement known as the 'Vierschlag' (four-strike) type. The design is executed in low hammered relief with no surrounding legend. The plain field outside the shield and the irregular flan are consistent with small denomination silver coinage of early 15th-century Württemberg. |
