Obverse description	Within a plain inner circle, a displayed imperial eagle facing left with wings spread and talons visible, rendered in bold relief characteristic of early 13th-century German bracteate-influenced coinage. The eagle's body is rendered in a stylized, angular manner typical of Hohenstaufen-period die work, with feather detailing visible on the wings. The field surrounding the eagle is flat and unadorned, with no legend or inscription present.

Reverse description	As a hammered thin silver pfennig, the reverse presents an incuse or partially visible mirror impression of the obverse design, consistent with the production technique of the period. The surface shows a figural scene, possibly a seated or enthroned figure, though the flan irregularity and striking weakness render precise detail difficult to distinguish. No legend or inscription is present on the reverse.
