| Obverse description | Quartered shield bearing the arms of Baden: the upper-left and lower-right quarters each display a diagonal bend (representing the traditional Baden bend), while the upper-right and lower-left quarters are charged with a checky pattern, all rendered in low relief characteristic of bracteate coinage. The shield is centrally positioned within a prominent beaded border that encircles the entire field, typical of the decorative framing employed on late medieval South German pfennig bracteates. No legend or inscription is present, the design relying solely on heraldic imagery for identification. |

| Reverse description | Uniface bracteate; the reverse is entirely blank, exhibiting only the incuse mirror impression of the obverse design as an inherent consequence of the single-die bracteate striking technique. The surface shows the characteristic irregular, uneven texture of a hammered flan, with no intentional design, inscription, or decorative element. |
