| Obverse description | Four-fold quartered shield bearing the arms of Leiningen-Westerburg, centrally positioned within the field. The upper left and lower right quarters display a saltire (diagonal cross), while the upper right and lower left quarters are filled with pellets or roundels. A beaded or pellet border encircles the design, consistent with the crude hammered style typical of early seventeenth-century German petty coinage. The flan is irregular and the relief is low, reflecting the primitive striking technique employed. |

| Reverse description | A heavily worn and largely illegible reverse, produced as a crude imitation of contemporary Netherlands copper Pfennig coinage. The design elements are poorly defined due to the rudimentary hammered technique and the small, thin flan, with only faint traces of the original die design discernible. The surface shows significant corrosion and wear, obscuring any inscriptions or subsidiary design features that may have been present. The irregular beaded rim follows the contour of the misshapen planchet. |
