| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the rampant Bavarian lion facing right, depicted in a stylized heraldic manner with extended claws and flowing mane; to the upper right of the lion, a small imperial orb is positioned in the field. The design is rendered in the crude hammered style typical of early 17th-century German Pfennig coinage. No legend is present on this face. |

The reverse is uniface or blank, as is characteristic of this hammered copper Pfennig issue, with no design or legend struck on this side. |
