| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a heraldic shield bearing the arms of Leiningen-Westerburg: a rampant lion in the lower portion of the shield flanked by two patriarchal crosses in the upper quarters. A six-petalled rosette appears above the shield. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, typical of hammered copper coinage of the early seventeenth century. The flan is irregular and slightly cupped, as characteristic of this issue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is completely blank and uniface, presenting a flat, undecorated copper surface with natural flow lines and patination resulting from the hammering process. The flan exhibits the same irregular, slightly convex profile visible on the obverse, consistent with the uniface striking technique employed for small-denomination copper Pfennig coinage of the period. |
