| Obverse description | Bracteate-type uniface hammered pfennig displaying a centrally positioned crescent or antler-fork device — the heraldic charge associated with the House of Württemberg — rendered in relief against a flat field. The central device is surrounded by a prominent outer border of raised pellets forming a continuous inner beaded circle, characteristic of the small bracteate coinage of the Swabian region. The design is typical of the crude but distinctive die-work employed in the production of late medieval south German pfennig coinage. |

| Reverse description | Incuse mirror image of the obverse, as is characteristic of hammered bracteate-style pfennig coinage of the period. The reverse shows the negative impression of the crescent or antler device and the surrounding pellet border, transferred through the thin silver flan during striking. No additional design elements or legends are present on this side. |
