| Obverse description | Frontal bust of Rupert I in high relief, depicted facing forward with a crowned head and stylized facial features. The effigy displays a broad, schematic face with wide eyes and a simple nose, characteristic of mid-14th century Rhenish hammered coinage. The bust is rendered in a naïve but confident style, with the crown clearly distinguished above the head. No legend is present on this bracteate-style pfennig. |

| Reverse description | Rampant lion passant to the left in high relief, rendered in the bold, schematic style typical of Palatinate hammered coinage of the mid-14th century. The lion's body, mane, and curling tail are crisply defined despite the irregular flan. The heraldic lion serves as the principal dynastic symbol of the Wittelsbach counts palatine. No surrounding legend or inscription is present. |
