| Obverse description | Thin uniface bracteate struck in the hammered tradition, displaying a stylized heraldic motif at center consisting of what appears to be a crowned or turreted architectural element, possibly a gate or tower, rendered in low relief within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding field is plain, bounded by an irregular flan edge typical of 13th-century bracteate coinage. The design is characteristic of civic coinage issued by the town of Demmin in Pomerania. No legible inscription is present on this example. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, this coin has no true reverse; the reverse face displays only the incuse, mirror-image impression of the obverse design, a characteristic feature of bracteate manufacture in which a single die strikes a thin flan of silver against a soft substrate. The incuse relief is faint and indistinct. |
