| Obverse description | Facing bearded bust of Sigismund of Luxemburg within a circular border, rendered in a crude medieval style typical of small hammered Silesian coinage. The portrait is depicted with long hair and a beard, occupying the central field of the flan. A mintmark appears within the surrounding legend. The overall strike is irregular, consistent with the hand-hammered production methods of early 15th-century Breslau. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a heraldic Bohemian lion passant in the central field, rendered in the crude style characteristic of small denominational hammered coinage of the period. The lion faces left with raised forepaw, consistent with the Bohemian royal arms used under Sigismund of Luxemburg. A single mintmark occupies the field, with minimal additional design detail due to the small flan size and the limitations of hammered production. |
