| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the quartered shield of arms of the Duchy of Cleves, surmounted by a crown. The escutcheon displays the heraldic charges of Cleves and associated territories in a divided arrangement. The shield is flanked by ornamental foliage or stylized supporters. A beaded inner circle frames the design, with a circular Latin legend running along the outer periphery. The overall style is characteristic of late medieval German hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | A bold cross pattée divides the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing a Gothic letter. The letters C, L, I, and V are positioned in the angles of the cross, forming an abbreviated reference to CLIVIA (Cleves). A beaded inner circle surrounds the design, with a circular Latin legend in Gothic script occupying the outer border. The execution is typical of small hammered billon or low-silver denominations of the early sixteenth-century Lower Rhine region. |
