| Beschrijving voorzijde | A dragon or wyvern-like creature facing left, rendered in bold relief within a plain circular border. The beast is depicted with an open mouth, raised forepaw, and curling body, executed in a crude but expressive medieval hammered style typical of Swiss bracteate coinage of the late 13th and early 14th centuries. The design fills the irregular flan, with the creature's form occupying the central field. No legend or inscription is present. The coin is uniface, with the design struck in high relief on the obverse. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Uniface; the reverse bears the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the dragon or wyvern in sunken relief as a direct result of the single-die hammered bracteate striking technique. The incuse impression reproduces the creature's body, open mouth, and raised forepaw in negative. No inscription or additional design elements are present on the reverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Zofingen's civic coinage rights derived from its status as an Austrian Habsburg possession following Albrecht I's acquisition of the town in the 1290s. These bracteate-style pfennigs were struck under that authority during the decade Albrecht held the German kingship, before his assassination by his nephew John of Swabia in 1308 brought the issue to an abrupt end.
