| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized eagle displayed, the heraldic emblem of the Margraviate of Brandenburg, rendered in a crude yet bold hammered style characteristic of mid-14th-century bracteate-influenced pfennigs. The eagle's wings are spread and the plumage is indicated by schematic incised lines. The design is contained within a plain inner border circle, beyond which the irregular flan edge is visible. No legend is present on this face. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a facing helmeted head or mask, likely a stylized representation of the margrave's visored helm, a common device on Brandenburg pfennigs of Louis II. The facial features are rendered in a schematic, almost abstract manner typical of mid-14th-century hammered coinage from the Mark Brandenburg. The design fills the central field, framed by a plain raised border ring. The flan is irregular in outline, consistent with hand-cut planchets of the period. No inscriptional legend accompanies the design. |
