| Obverse description | Depiction of a city wall or fortified gate rendered in a stylized architectural manner, occupying the central field, with a symbol or device above the battlements. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by a circular legend in Gothic uncial characters. The overall style is characteristic of North German municipal coinage of the mid-fourteenth century. |

| Reverse description | A large quatrefoil formed by four rounded lobes dominates the central field, divided by a cross pattee (Portuguese-style cross) whose arms extend to the inner beaded border, with a small pellet or boss at the center junction. The quatrefoil and cross composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a circular legend in Gothic uncial characters. This reverse type is typical of Wendish-influenced Witten coinage of the fourteenth century. |
