| Obverse description | Central field displays the arms of Leuchtenberg, rendered as a horizontally striped shield, enclosed within a trefoil frame. Flanking the shield within the trefoil are star-like ornamental devices. A three-letter inscription surrounds the central device, set within the field between the trefoil lobes. The entire design is characteristic of late medieval German hammered pfennig coinage, with an irregular flan and somewhat crude but purposeful die work. |

| Reverse description | Die is blank; the reverse shows only the incuse impression of the obverse die strike, with irregular flan edges visible. No design, legend, or decorative elements are present on this face, consistent with the single-sided bracteate-influenced pfennig tradition of the region. |
