| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a bold Gothic letter W, the initial of Vladislaus (Wladislaus), surmounted by a royal crown rendered in a stylized Gothic manner with fleur-de-lis-like projections. The device is struck in high relief against an unadorned field and is encircled by a beaded border typical of Bohemian hammered coinage of the late 15th and early 16th centuries. No legend is present; the crowned initial alone serves as the royal identifier. The irregular flan and slightly off-center strike are characteristic of hand-hammered production of the period. |

| Obverse lettering | W (Translation: Wladislaus) |
| Reverse description | Uniface issue; the reverse is entirely blank and uninscribed, bearing no design, legend, or device. The surface exhibits the rough, unworked texture inherent to the blank flan as left after striking, with no deliberate imagery applied. This uniface character is a defining feature of this small Bohemian pfennig denomination, consistent with comparable issues of the Vladislaus II coinage. |
