| Obverse description | Three small heraldic shields of arms arranged adjacently in the field, each bearing the dynastic devices of Palatinate-Zweibrücken. The initial letter 'I' (for Johannes/John) appears between two pellets above the shields, serving as the issuer's mark. The overall composition is characteristic of the small hammered Schüsselpfennig (dish pfennig) type, with the design struck in shallow relief on the concave face of the flan. The inscription 'IP' is present in the field, referencing the ruler's monogram. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely blank, as is typical of the Schüsselpfennig (dish pfennig) bracteate tradition, where only one face of the thin, concave flan bears a struck design. The convex surface shows the incuse impression of the obverse design in low relief, with no additional devices, legends, or marks present in the field. |
