| Obverse description | Four heraldic shields arranged in cruciform pattern, dividing the field into quadrants. The uppermost shield bears an imperial eagle, while the remaining three display the arms of Austria, Styria, and other Habsburg territories. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with a partially legible Gothic uncial legend encircling the entire composition in the outer field. |

| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a large Gothic majuscule letter or monogram in relief, surrounded by decorative foliate or architectural elements characteristic of late medieval Habsburg coinage. The inscription, rendered in Gothic uncial lettering, runs around the periphery within a beaded border. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, consistent with hand-hammered production techniques of the mid-fifteenth century. |
