| Obverse description | Crowned facing bust of Emperor Frederick II rendered in crude high relief, characteristic of medieval hammered bracteate-related pfennig coinage. The imperial crown is clearly delineated above the ruler's head, with facial features schematically depicted in the Romanesque style. The bust is shown frontally within the broad, irregularly shaped flan typical of 13th-century German small silver coinage. No legend is present in the field. |

| Reverse description | Architectural motif depicting a stylized building or city gate with a central arched portal, flanked by towers or columns, rendered in the schematic Romanesque manner typical of Hohenstaufen-era pfennigs. A row of pellets appears along the base of the structure, suggesting a decorative band or wall. The design fills the broad irregular flan, with no legend present. The overall style is consistent with ecclesiastical or imperial mint production of the early to mid-13th century. |
