| Obverse description | A fleur-de-lis (lily) surmounting a straight-sided shield bearing the arms of Baden, all contained within a beaded circle. A single pellet appears at both the upper and lower margins of the inner field, serving as decorative stops. The design is rendered in low relief, consistent with the hammered bracteate-related pfennig tradition of the Upper Rhineland. The flat, unadorned field surrounding the beaded border is typical of late medieval German obol coinage. |

| Reverse description | Uniface strike; the reverse is entirely blank and shows the incuse impression of the obverse design transferred through the thin silver flan, characteristic of the hammered pfennig coinage technique of this period. |
