| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate struck in thin silver sheet, bearing a stylized crown in low relief at center. The crown features three globular finials set above a flat band, flanked on either side by outward-curving arm-like projections terminating in pellets, evoking a schematic heraldic representation characteristic of Teutonic Order provincial coinage. The design is contained within a plain inner border formed by a raised ring, itself encircled by a beaded outer border. The fields are flat and unlettered, reflecting the minimalist aesthetic of mid-fourteenth-century bracteate production in the Baltic region. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, with the crown and pellet motifs appearing sunken into the thin silver flan. The surface is plain and undecorated beyond the impressed design, consistent with standard bracteate manufacturing technique of the period. |
