| Obverse description | Central field displays a double-headed imperial eagle with spread wings, the heads surmounted by a single crown, rendered in the Gothic style characteristic of late 15th-century Austrian coinage. The eagle is enclosed within a plain inner circle, with the circumferential legend running along the outer periphery of the flan. The lettering, executed in uncial Gothic characters, reads FR R IMP A E I O V, an abbreviated reference to Frederick III as Roman Emperor. The coin is struck on an irregular flan typical of hammered silver issues of this period, with moderate relief throughout. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a cross pattee enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the arms of the cross extending to the inner ring. Four diagonal lines or pellets fill the inter-spaces between the cross arms, creating a characteristic wheel-like composition. The circumferential legend, in uncial Gothic characters, reads MON NOV AVS, an abbreviation for Moneta Nova Austriae (New Money of Austria), accompanied by the date elements and ornamental stops. The entire design is characteristic of the Vienna Mint's late medieval coinage style under Frederick III. |
