| Obverse description | Two adjacent heraldic shields suspended side by side from a looped hanger: the dexter shield bearing an eagle, the sinister shield displaying the quartered arms of Eppstein-Königstein. The date appears in the lower field beneath the shields. The design is rendered in the crude but characteristic style of early sixteenth-century German hammered pfennig coinage, with no surrounding legend. |

| Reverse description | Blank field with no design, inscription, or relief elements, consistent with the uniface striking practice typical of small-denomination German pfennig coinage of the early sixteenth century. The hammered flan displays irregular surface texture resulting from the striking process. |
