| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a crescent or hunting horn device rendered in relief, adorned with a cluster of pellets arranged within and around the form, characteristic of the Jagdhornpfennig (hunting horn pfennig) type. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, itself surrounded by a continuous outer ring of pellets following the irregular flan edge. The composition is bold and stylized, typical of late medieval South German hammered bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage. The surfaces display the slightly uneven strike and flan irregularity expected of hand-hammered silver issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | As a thin hammered pfennig of this type and period, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, with the hunting horn and pellet motif appearing in negative relief. The flan is irregular and shows the characteristic surface texture of a single-sided or bracteate-style striking common to small silver pfennig coinage of late 15th-century Württemberg. |
