| Obverse description | Frankfurt civic eagle displayed in the field, wings spread, head turned to the left. The bird is rendered in a bold, simplified late-medieval style characteristic of hammered bracteate-influenced coinage. No legend or border is present, the entire flan being occupied by the heraldic device. The irregular flan edge and uneven surface are typical of hand-hammered production of the period. |

| Reverse description | A bold cross pattée occupying the central field, enclosed within a plain circle or inner ring, with concave triangular spaces between the arms. A small central boss marks the intersection of the arms. The design is plain and unadorned, without legend or additional ornament, consistent with the minimalist reverse types employed on Frankfurt Heller coinage of the late 14th century. |
