| Obverse description | Central five-fold quartered heraldic shield incorporating the arms of Ravensberg at the centre, flanked by ornamental foliage or trefoil flourishes in the field. The shield displays lions and other charges in relief, rendered in the Gothic hammered style characteristic of late 14th-century Rhenish coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the arms, with a Gothic uncial legend surrounding in the outer field. The overall design is bold and deeply struck, with the shield filling the majority of the flan. |

| Reverse description | A small cross at the centre divides the field, surrounded by a double concentric legend in Gothic uncial script. A small heraldic shield is placed atop the inner legend ring, serving as a punctuation or divisional device between the two inscription bands. The outer legend contains the well-known Christological invocation common to contemporary Rhenish Weißpfennig issues. The coin's reverse is enclosed within a beaded border, consistent with hammered silver coinage of the Berg mint in the late medieval period. |
