| Obverse description | A central cross with floriated (flower-terminated) arms is enclosed within a quatrefoil frame. The electoral arms of Saxony, displayed on a shield, are superimposed at the center, with a Latin uncial legend encircling the design within the outer border. The overall composition is characteristic of late-medieval German hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | A lion passant to the left occupies the central field, with a small escutcheon bearing the arms of Saxony positioned at the lower left. A continuous Latin uncial legend surrounds the design, and a stylized flower or rosette ornament appears at the top of the legend as a stop or divider. The engraving style reflects the late 15th-century Saxon minting tradition. |
