| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate type displaying the episcopal symbols of Dorpat: a sword and a key crossed in saltire at the center of the field, rendered in bold relief characteristic of struck bracteate coinage. The crossed implements are enclosed within a beaded inner circle, the pellets of which are densely packed and merge to form a near-continuous ring. The design fills the irregular, roughly circular flan typical of small hammered pfennig coinage of the Baltic region in the late 14th century. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | Uniface bracteate (brakteat): the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, with the crossed sword and key visible in negative relief as is characteristic of all bracteate coinage produced by this hammering technique. The surface is plain and unadorned, showing the natural texture of the thin silver flan. |
