| Obverse description | A fleur-de-lis occupies the central field, rendered in the characteristic late medieval style with three lobed petals rising above a stylized stem and flanking volutes. The initial letter B, denoting Margrave Bernard I of Baden, appears below the lily. The central device is enclosed within a beaded circle formed by a ring of small punched dots arranged in a roughly circular pattern around the perimeter of the flat, irregularly flan. Additional pellets are positioned along the upper arc of the beaded border, flanking the uppermost petal of the lily. No legend is present; the design relies solely on heraldic and initial devices as issuer identification. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely blank, a typical feature of bracteate-style or thin hammered pfennig coinage of the medieval German states, where the obverse design often strikes through to produce a corresponding incuse impression on the reverse side of the flan. |
