| Obverse description | Within a beaded or plain inner circle, the conjoined initials H and A in Gothic lettering, referencing Herzog Albert (Duke Albert IV of Bavaria), surmounted by a semicircular arch. The design is struck on an irregular planchet typical of hammered coinage of the early sixteenth century, with the monogram centrally placed in the field. |

| Reverse description | The Wittelsbach lozenge (fusily) shield, depicting the characteristic Bavarian bendy lozengy arms, enclosed within a square frame and an outer circle. The shield is rendered in a plain heraldic style consistent with early sixteenth-century hammered bracteate-type coinage of the Bavarian duchy, with the overall design occupying the majority of the irregular flan. |
