| Obverse description | A stag's head depicted in left profile occupies the central field of this crudely struck hammered pfennig. The design is rendered in a bold, schematic medieval style characteristic of Silesian bracteate-related coinage, with the antlers prominently displayed above the head. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show typical characteristics of 13th–14th century hand-struck billon coinage. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | The central field bears a large letter W in gothic or early medieval form, serving as an initial monogram, likely referencing a local lord or mint authority. Small decorative balls or pellets are placed in the corners surrounding the letter, adding ornamental structure to the otherwise plain field. The strike is characteristic of hammered medieval billon coinage with an irregular flan and rough surfaces. No further inscription or legend accompanies the monogram. |
