| Obverse description | A four-fold quartered shield of arms, combining the arms of the Bishopric of Regensburg and the Pappenheim family, presented within a quatrefoil frame. The date of issue appears above the shield, divided across the upper lobes of the quatrefoil. The heraldic design is rendered in the late Gothic tradition typical of small hammered coinage of the Holy Roman Empire, with crisp die-cut lines visible despite the flan's irregular fabric. |

| Reverse description | A circular imperial orb surmounted by a cross, set within a plain rhombus (lozenge-shaped frame) that occupies the full field of the die. The numeral denoting the denomination appears within the lower portion of the orb. The design is executed in the simple, bold style characteristic of small-denomination hammered pfennig coinage of the mid-sixteenth century Holy Roman Empire, with no surrounding legend. |
