| Obverse description | Stylized imperial eagle displayed with spread wings, depicted facing left in a bold, simplified Romanesque style characteristic of early 13th-century German bracteate-influenced coinage. The eagle's head is turned to the left with a pronounced beak, and the body is rendered in high relief with sweeping wing feathers. A decorative curved border element frames the figure in the inner field, with small cross motifs and pellets visible along the outer rim. |

| Reverse description | A rampant lion or griffon depicted passant-rampant to the left, rendered in vigorous Romanesque style with a curling tail and raised forepaws, set within an inner circle. Small cross pattee motifs are interspersed along the outer border, serving as decorative punctuation elements typical of anonymous Nuremberg pfennig coinage of the early Hohenstaufen period. The field is otherwise plain, with the entire design executed in the crude but expressive hammered relief of the period. |
