| Obverse description | Central field displays the Tyrolean eagle displayed, wings spread, facing front with head turned sinister, rendered in bold relief characteristic of 14th-century north Italian hammered coinage. The eagle, a heraldic symbol of the Prince-Bishopric of Trento, is contained within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin characters reads TRIDENTINVS, referencing Trento, and is separated from the inner circle by a plain border. The flan is irregular, typical of hand-struck medieval billon pieces of this period. |

| Reverse description | Frontal bust of the bishop Nicholas of Brno, depicted in pontifical vestments with a prominent mitre, rendered in a schematic yet expressive medieval style within a beaded inner circle. The bust is shown facing, with stylized facial features and a decorative collar or cope visible below the chin. The encircling legend in uncial Latin, separated from the inner circle by a plain border, identifies the issuer as Nicholas, Bishop. A floral ornament separates elements of the legend, consistent with north Italian numismatic practice of the mid-14th century. |
