| Obverse description | Frontal enthroned effigy of Count Otto III, depicted in regal attire with a beaded or jeweled crown, holding a lily scepter in his right hand and an orb in his left. The figure is rendered in the flat, stylized manner characteristic of 13th-century German bracteate-influenced coinage. Drapery folds are indicated by incised lines across the chest and lower body. The design occupies the full field of the flan, with no visible legend. |

| Reverse description | The arms of Ravensberg — a stylized eagle or heraldic device — displayed at the center of a quatrefoil frame. Small crosses are positioned at the top and lateral points of the quatrefoil, while square ornaments fill the outer angles between the lobes. The overall composition is symmetrically arranged within the irregular round flan, consistent with the heraldic conventions of 13th-century Lower Saxon coinage. |
