| Obverse description | A prominent fleur-de-lis occupies the center of the coin field, rendered in bold relief with clearly defined petals and base lobes in the characteristic Gothic heraldic style. The central device is surrounded by a single ring of evenly spaced pellets forming an inner beaded border, which itself is enclosed within a second outer beaded border following the irregular flan edge. The fields are flat and unlettered, with no inscription present. The overall design is typical of the bracteate-influenced small pfennig coinage of the late medieval Rhenish Palatinate. |

| Reverse description | As a hammered bracteate-style pfennig, the reverse presents an incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the negative impression of the fleur-de-lis and surrounding pellet border as struck through the thin silver flan. The surface is irregular and unmarked, consistent with the single-die striking technique employed for small medieval bracteate coinage of the Palatinate region. |
