| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized antler or stag's antlers above a crescent, rendered in a bold, primitive hammered style characteristic of late medieval south German bracteate-influenced pfennigs. The design is set within a plain inner circle surrounded by a border of large, evenly spaced pellets. The letter 'V', representing Count Ulrich V of Württemberg, appears prominently above the charge. The overall composition is typical of small-denomination coinage of the period, with shallow relief and irregular flan edges. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this hammered pfennig is essentially uniface or bears only a faint incuse impression from the obverse striking, as is characteristic of thin-flan medieval pfennigs of this type. The surface shows the natural texture of the hammered silver flan with no deliberate design elements present. This is consistent with the production technique of small-denomination south German coinage of the late 15th century. |
