| Obverse description | A stylized gate or portcullis motif rendered in low relief, supported on two slender pillars and surmounted by three small crosses disposed across the upper arch. The design is centrally positioned within the plain, unlettered field, characteristic of the anonymous bracteate coinage of the Teutonic Order. The flan is irregularly shaped, with a slightly concave profile inherent to the bracteate striking technique. No legend or inscription is present; the composition is purely emblematic, reflecting the Order's architectural and heraldic symbolism. |

| Reverse description | Incuse mirror image of the obverse design, as is standard for bracteate coinage struck from a single die on a thin flan. The field is otherwise blank, with no additional devices, legends, or ornamental elements. The concave surface exhibits the characteristic shadowed impression of the gate and pillar motif visible in reverse from the obverse strike. |
