| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the Gothic letters 'HZ' (an abbreviation for Herzog, meaning Duke) occupy the central field in bold relief. The coin's irregular flan, characteristic of hammered coinage of the period, frames the design with an uneven border. The lettering is rendered in a Gothic style consistent with early sixteenth-century Bavarian mintage. |

| Reverse description | The Wittelsbach dynastic arms, depicting a lozengy (fusily) field of bendy sinister in the heraldic tradition, are displayed on a shield set within a lozenge-shaped (rhombus) linear frame. The shield occupies the center of the coin's field, with the four lines of the rhombus extending to the coin's edge. The design is bold and unadorned, reflecting the simple but authoritative heraldic aesthetic of early sixteenth-century Bavarian coinage. |
