| Obverse description | Divided shield occupying the central field, displaying the arms of Silesia (a rampant eagle to the right) on the dexter side and horizontal bars (the arms of Breslau) on the sinister side, all within a roughly circular flan typical of hammered coinage. Three pellets appear above the shield in the upper field. The design is executed in a bold, somewhat crude medieval style consistent with late 15th-century Silesian municipal coinage. |

| Reverse description | A large spread eagle displayed in the central field, rendered in a stylised medieval manner with outstretched wings and talons visible at the base, characteristic of Bohemian-Silesian heller coinage of the period. A short Latin legend or numerical mark appears along the upper border of the flan. The irregular flan edges and flat relief are consistent with hand-struck hammered production. |
