| Obverse description | Conjoined heraldic shield displaying the double arms of Henneberg-Schleusingen, occupying the central field within a beaded inner border. The initial letter H appears in the upper field above the shield, with the letter C positioned below, together forming the monogram H·C referencing Count Heinrich (Henry) VIII. The design is executed in the flat, angular style characteristic of mid-14th century German hammered bracteate-influenced pfennigs. |

| Reverse description | Blank reverse, as is typical of this single-sided or poorly-struck hammered pfennig type. The surface displays only incuse impressions transferred from the obverse die, with no intentional design or legend present. The flan shows the irregular, rough texture consistent with hand-cut silver planchets of the mid-14th century. |
