| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate struck in low-relief on a thin flan. The central device depicts a stylized Teutonic cross with a small globule or pellet at its base, the arms of the cross terminating within a recessed rectangular or shield-like frame. Two small pellets or bosses flank the lower portion of the cross, lending the composition a heraldic quality consistent with Teutonic Order coinage of the early fourteenth century. The design is rendered in a primitive, angular style characteristic of Prussian bracteate issues of this period. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | As a true bracteate, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the negative impression of the Teutonic cross device pressed through the thin billon flan. The surface is plain and uninscribed, with the incuse relief clearly visible against the unworked metal. This construction is typical of bracteate coinage produced in the Prussian territories under Teutonic Order administration during the fourteenth century. |
