Obverse description Central device consisting of a quatrefoil motif enclosed within a plain inner circle, with four rounded lobes radiating symmetrically from the centre. The design is rendered in low relief typical of bracteate coinage, struck on a thin, broad flan with irregular edges. No legend or inscription present. The field surrounding the quatrefoil is flat and unadorned. The overall style is characteristic of Teutonic Order anonymous bracteate issues of the early fourteenth century.

Reverse description As a bracteate, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design. A quadrate cross with bifurcated or foliated arm-terminals is visible in shallow incuse relief at the centre, enclosed within a plain raised border. The flan is thin and slightly irregular, consistent with hammered bracteate production. No legend or additional devices are present. The incuse impression is the natural consequence of the single-die bracteate striking technique.
