| Obverse description | A crowned eagle displayed to the left occupies the central field, rendered in the primitive hammered style typical of early seventeenth-century German petty coinage. The eagle's spread wings and splayed talons are visible within a beaded inner circle, with a small heart-shaped shield at the breast. The initials S, W, and F are distributed around the eagle in the field, referencing the issuing county. The entire device is enclosed within a border of raised pellets arranged around the circumference of the flan. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is blank, presenting a plain, unadorned copper flan with no devices, legends, or decorative elements, consistent with the uniface struck Pfennig coinage of the minor German states of this period. The surface shows characteristic flow lines and minor porosity from the hammering process. |
