| Obverse description | Thin silver bracteate struck on a single thin flan, exhibiting the characteristic irregular, wavy edge typical of the medium. The central design features a stylized heraldic motif, likely a lion or similar heraldic beast, rendered in relief within a beaded inner circle. Surrounding the central charge is a border of pellets or a rope-like annulet, with the entire composition displaying the bold but slightly abstracted workmanship characteristic of medieval German bracteate coinage. The flan shows natural folding and surface distortion inherent to the bracteate technique. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, a technical consequence of the single-die hammered bracteate striking method. The thin silver flan shows the negative impression of the central heraldic motif and surrounding border, with the surface exhibiting natural creasing, folding, and oxidation consistent with medieval single-sided coinage of this type and period. |
