| Obverse description | Depiction of a town wall rendered in low relief on a thin, irregularly shaped billon flan characteristic of bracteate coinage. The wall motif, associated with the heraldic emblem of the city of Demmin, occupies the central field. The flan exhibits the typical concave curvature of a bracteate, with an irregular, ragged edge resulting from the hand-hammering technique. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | As is standard for bracteate coinage, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the town wall motif in negative relief. The concave surface of the reverse corresponds to the convex strike of the obverse, with the characteristic bowl-like profile of the flan visible throughout. No additional design elements, legends, or inscriptions are present on this side. |
