| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized imperial eagle displayed, rendered in a primitive civic style characteristic of small German municipal coinage of the late 17th century. The eagle's spread wings are delineated by bold raised ridges, with a small globose head at center surmounted by a simple crown. The date 1696 is split across the lower field, flanking the eagle's body, with numerals reading left and right. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border running along the coin's periphery. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a fully blank, featureless field with no design elements, legends, or decorative devices, consistent with the uniface or near-uniface striking technique commonly employed for small-denomination municipal copper coinage in the Holy Roman Empire during this period. The plain copper surface exhibits natural patination. According to the catalog record, the reverse legend '1 PFENNING / ISNY' identifies the denomination and the issuing city of Isny, though this lettering appears on the obverse die in some die varieties. |
