| Obverse description | Crude hammered field depicting a standing or stylized heraldic figure, likely an eagle or beast, rendered in a rough medieval bracteate-influenced style typical of South German ecclesiastical coinage. The design is struck in low relief with irregular flan edges characteristic of hand-hammered production. Inscriptions or legends, if present, are largely indistinct due to the striking technique and small module. |

| Reverse description | Architectural motif rendered in a schematic medieval style, depicting what appears to be a stylized church facade or gateway with a prominent central arch surmounted by a cross, flanked by smaller tower-like elements. Three pellets or roundels are visible beneath the arch, likely symbolizing the abbey. The design is characteristic of ecclesiastical pfennig coinage from the Weissenburg Abbey, struck in low relief on a small, irregular hammered flan. |
