| Obverse description | A ram without halo, depicted in profile walking left with head turned to face right, rendered in a lumpy, stylised body characteristic of the period. A flag or banner appears behind the animal. The central device is enclosed by a circular legend in uncial Latin script. The design is typical of medieval municipal coinage, with crude but expressive die work. |

| Reverse description | A stylised tree occupies the central field, with upper branches and leaves spreading upward and outward, lower leaves extending laterally, and the trunk terminating in stump-like roots at the base. The device is surrounded by a circular legend in uncial Latin script. The rendering is schematic and linear, consistent with the primitive engraving style of medieval Gotlandic municipal coinage. |
