| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a crowned imperial eagle displayed facing, rendered in the bold, somewhat crude style characteristic of early seventeenth-century hammered small coinage. The eagle's spread wings and crown are clearly defined despite the irregular flan. Surrounding the inner circle, a Latin circumscription reading FRANCOFVRT followed by the date runs along the outer field, serving as both city identifier and year of issue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a heavily worn field bearing remnants of a legend and design elements consistent with Frankfurt Pfennig coinage of this period, likely incorporating the city's heraldic eagle or a simple civic emblem within a beaded circle. The surface shows characteristic irregularities of the hammered technique, with the legend partially legible due to wear and a slightly off-center strike typical of this small denomination. |
