| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the arms of Saxony — the barry of ten with a diagonal crancelin — flanked by baroque scrollwork ornaments forming an elaborate decorative surround. A crescent-shaped motif appears above the shield, with additional foliate or scroll elements to the left and right of the central device. The design is characteristic of early 17th-century Saxon hammered coinage, with the shield rendered in low relief on an irregularly shaped flan. No legend is present on this denomination. |

| Reverse description | Plain or near-plain field with weakly struck residual design elements, typical of this small hammered Pfennig denomination struck on a thin, irregular flan. The reverse shows faint traces of a secondary impression, possibly a counterpart of the obverse die or a plain surface resulting from the single-die hammering technique employed for minor Saxon coinage of this period. No distinct legend or pictorial device is discernible. |
