| Reverse description | A heraldic lion passant to the left, rendered in the bold, stylized manner typical of 14th-century German coinage, occupying the central field within a beaded or linear inner circle. The lion, representing the Wittelsbach arms of the Palatinate, is shown with raised forepaw and curling tail, its mane and body details struck with expressive if somewhat crude workmanship. The design fills the flan with no legend, the field otherwise plain. The strike, as typical of hammered pfennigs of this period, results in slight irregularities across the surface. |
