| Obverse description | Central field displays the Henneberg arms, featuring a rampant lion to the left alongside a shield device, with additional heraldic elements visible in the upper portion of the flan. The design is rendered in the characteristic flat, low-relief style of early sixteenth-century hammered Pfennig coinage. The irregular flan exhibits the typical characteristics of hand-struck minor silver coinage of the period. Faint traces of a marginal Latin legend are discernible around the periphery, though largely worn. The overall strike is weak in areas, consistent with the small module and thin planchet of this denomination. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a largely plain, deeply worn field with only faint traces of design elements remaining visible, consistent with the incuse impression typical of hammered bracteate-style minor coinage. A partial curved element, possibly a letter or ornamental device, is visible near the upper edge of the flan. The surface shows extensive wear and die weakness throughout, characteristic of this small silver Pfennig denomination struck for local circulation in the County of Henneberg-Schleusingen. The flan edges are irregular and clipped in places, as is typical for hand-cut planchets of this era. |
