| Obverse description | Facing bust of Saint Peter with prominent shaggy beard rendered in bold relief, depicted frontally in the field at center. The saint is shown holding a sword to the left and a key to the right, his two principal attributes, flanking his figure symmetrically. The die is crudely but vigorously engraved in the medieval hammered tradition, with the face exhibiting deeply incised features characteristic of late 14th- to mid-15th-century Bremen civic coinage. No legible legend is present on this denomination. |

| Reverse description | Facing enthroned ecclesiastical figure, depicted in a frontal seated pose, rendered in the rough hammered style typical of medieval Bremen minor coinage. The figure raises the right hand in an oath-taking or benediction gesture and holds a book — likely the Gospels — in the left hand, consistent with representations of a bishop or clergyman. The composition is contained within the coin's irregularly shaped flan, with minimal field space and no discernible border or legend on this small denomination. |
