| Obverse description | Central field depicts a lamb (Agnus Dei) passant or rampant, rendered in a crude medieval style characteristic of mid-14th-century Gotlandic coinage. The figure is set within a beaded inner circle, with additional figures or decorative elements filling the surrounding field. The design is executed in low relief with irregular striking typical of hammered silver coinage of this period. The overall composition reflects the civic and ecclesiastical iconographic traditions of the Hanseatic city of Visby. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a trefoil or trilobate composition formed by three interlinked lobes, each containing a stylized fleur-de-lis or foliate motif, set within a beaded inner circle. This ornamental device, characteristic of Visby's 14th-century örtug coinage, occupies the full central field. A partial outer legend in uncial Latin characters surrounds the beaded border, with the inscription separated by punctuation marks that vary by die variety. The flan is irregular and slightly cracked at the edges, consistent with hammered production of the period. |
