| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized facing bust or helmeted figure rendered in the crude, bold relief characteristic of late 14th-century Bavarian bracteate-style pfennigs. Flanking the central device are two small six-pointed stars positioned in the left and lower fields. The design is executed in low hammered relief with no surrounding legend, the entire composition contained within the irregularly shaped flan. |

| Reverse description | Incuse impression of the obverse design, as is typical of thin hammered pfennigs of this period, showing the Wittelsbach arms — a lozenge-patterned shield — in shallow incuse relief at the center of the flan. The surrounding field is flat and plain, with the shield device clearly distinguishable despite the characteristic weakness of the hammered strike. |
