| Obverse description | A Pomeranian griffin passant to the left, rendered in bold relief within a beaded inner circle. The griffin is depicted with wings raised and tail curled, characteristic of the ducal heraldic tradition of Pomerania. A Gothic legend in uncial characters surrounds the central motif, running along the outer rim of the coin. The overall style reflects the late medieval hammered coinage of the region, with an irregular flan typical of the period. |

| Reverse description | The quartered coat-of-arms of Bogislaw X, Duke of Pomerania, displayed on a shield at centre, with the Pomeranian griffin and the eagle of Rügen among the quarterings. The shield is superimposed upon a long cross pattée whose arms extend to the beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four sections. Crowned ornaments appear at the ends of the cross arms, with a Gothic legend in uncial lettering encircling the design along the outer rim. The die work is characteristic of the late 15th-century Garz mint, with bold if somewhat crude execution typical of hammered silver schillings of this duchy. |
