| Obverse description | Bracteate-style obverse displaying a raised square or lozenge-shaped geometric device at center, formed by incuse impressions characteristic of the 'bloß Geld' (plain money) type. The flan is irregular and shows the typical concave distortion of a thinly hammered medieval silver piece. The field is unadorned, with no legend or inscription, consistent with the anonymous, non-figural coinage issued under Duke Albrecht III of Austria. The fabric is notably crude, reflecting the small module and minimal silver content of this fractional denomination. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is essentially blank and featureless, presenting a convex, unmarked silver surface with the irregular flan edges characteristic of hand-hammered medieval coinage. No design, legend, or device is discernible, as is typical of the bracteate-influenced Hälbling type where only a single-sided impression is intended. The surface shows natural flow lines and die stress from the hammering process, with patina consistent with long burial or circulation. |
