| Obverse description | Facing left, a stylized eagle or raven head rendered in high relief, depicting an open beak and a dramatically frayed or ruffled neck section with radiating feather striations fanning outward toward the lower field. The design is contained within a beaded inner circle, the whole set against the irregular hammered flan characteristic of medieval bracteate-style pfennigs. |

| Reverse description | Uniface issue; the reverse is blank, showing only the incuse impression of the obverse design as transferred through the thin hammered silver flan, consistent with the bracteate or semi-bracteate coining technique employed for small medieval pfennig coinage. |
