| Obverse description | Bracteate struck on a thin, irregularly shaped flan exhibiting the characteristic single-sided relief of the type. The central device depicts a heraldic shield bearing a stylized charge, rendered in bold relief and flanked by two curved horn-like or wing-like elements that arch symmetrically on either side. The design is framed by two concentric rings of beading, creating a decorative border that fills the field toward the raised rim. The overall composition is bold and schematic, typical of late medieval German bracteate coinage from the Querfurt region. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse displays the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, with the heraldic shield and flanking elements appearing in hollow relief against a flat, unstruck surface. The thin silver flan shows natural flow lines and minor irregularities consistent with hand-hammered bracteate production. No legend or additional decorative elements are present on the reverse. |
