| Obverse description | A monk's head facing left, depicted in low relief within a raised square central frame set against the irregular hammered planchet. The stylized profile features characteristic monastic attributes rendered in the late Gothic artistic tradition. The design occupies the central field with minimal surrounding detail, consistent with the small-denomination pfennig coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Gothic capital initials 'E' and 'A' arranged side by side in a line, enclosed within a raised inner circle. The letters, representing the joint rule of Dukes Ernest and Adolphus of Bavaria-Munich, are executed in the late Gothic script style typical of early fifteenth-century Bavarian coinage. The surrounding field is plain, bounded by the irregular edge of the hammered planchet. |
