| Obverse description | Divided shield bearing the bipartite arms of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg: to the left, a rampant lion; to the right, two vertical pales (bars). The initial letter H appears above the shield in the field, serving as a mint or mintmaster mark. The coin is struck on an irregular flan with a beaded or rope border partially visible at the rim, characteristic of small hammered copper coinage of the early seventeenth century. |

| Obverse lettering | H |
| Reverse description | Plain, uniface reverse with no design, inscription, or device, the flat copper flan showing only natural surface irregularities and patination consistent with hammered coinage of this period. The absence of a reverse type is typical of small-denomination Pfennig coinage struck in the German states during the early seventeenth century. |
