| Obverse description | Three trefoil or clover-shaped leaves arranged in a triquetra-like composition, their stems joined at a central point, occupying the full field of this uniface bracteate-style pfennig. The design is rendered in low relief typical of hammered Viennese pfennigs of the mid-14th century, with no surrounding legend. The flan is irregular and somewhat lobate, consistent with hand-cut planchets of the period. |

| Reverse description | The heraldic shield or mark of mint master Dietrich Flusthart, flanked on either side by a small rosette, all set within the plain field of this thin hammered flan. The incuse reverse impression, characteristic of bracteate-influenced pfennigs struck in Vienna under Duke Albrecht II, shows the mint master's personal device serving as a control mark for accountability. No legend is present. |
