| Obverse description | The Ravensberg heraldic shield, displaying a chevron device, is centrally positioned within a beaded quatrefoil border. Small Greek crosses occupy the spaces at the top and to either side of the shield within the quatrefoil, enhancing the overall symmetrical composition. The die-struck field surrounding the quatrefoil is plain, consistent with hammered bracteate-style pfennig coinage of the mid-fourteenth century. |

| Reverse description | A rampant lion, representing the heraldic arms of the County of Berg, is depicted facing left within a beaded circular border. The lion is rendered in the stylized, somewhat naive manner typical of hammered pfennig coinage of the mid-fourteenth century Rhineland region. The field is flat and unadorned, with the lion's raised forepaws and curved tail clearly discernible despite the irregular flan. |
