| Obverse description | Crude stylized design featuring a large open crescent or lunate form occupying the central field, with a cluster of five pellets arranged within its interior. Diagonal lines suggesting a radiate or combed pattern fill the left field, while additional pellets border the outer edge of the crescent motif. The overall style is characteristic of the debased, abstracted Germanic imitative coinage of the Frisian series. The design is rendered in low relief with an irregular flan typical of hammered early medieval silver sceattas. |

| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a prominent concentric circle motif — a large ring enclosing a smaller ring with a central pellet — evoking a stylized eye or target device. Two horizontal bars, each terminating in pellets, flank the central device above and below. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border of uniform pellets forming a near-rectangular frame around the field. The composition is geometric and abstract, consistent with the debased Frisian porcupine or related series of the early eighth century. |
