| Obverse description | A crowned imperial double-headed eagle displayed in the central field, rendered in the late Gothic style characteristic of 15th-century Habsburg coinage. The eagle's heads face outward to either side, each surmounted by an open crown. The entire device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A Gothic legend in uncial lettering encircles the design in the outer margin, reading the ruler's titulature as Holy Roman Emperor. |

| Reverse description | Five heraldic shields arranged within a central circle, representing the dynastic and territorial claims of Frederick III as Habsburg ruler. The shields include the arms of Austria, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, and Tyrol. A crowned shield or central device surmounts the arrangement at the top of the field. The surrounding Gothic legend in uncial lettering contains the date 1471 at its conclusion, consistent with the practice of dating Graz groschen issues in the reverse inscription. |
