| Obverse description | Within a plain raised border, a bold central cross occupies the field, its four arms of equal length and slightly expanded at the tips. Two small auxiliary crosses are positioned symmetrically in the two lower quadrants flanking the base of the main cross. The design is rendered in low relief typical of bracteate coinage, with no legend or inscription present. The overall composition is stark and heraldic in character, consistent with Teutonic Order ecclesiastical symbolism. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is blank, as is characteristic of bracteate coinage, which is struck on a single thin flan from one die only. The mirror impression of the obverse design is faintly visible as an incuse ghost image on the reverse surface, a natural consequence of the single-sided striking technique. No legends, devices, or decorative elements are present. |
