| Obverse description | Imperial double-headed eagle displayed at center, both heads crowned, set within a beaded inner circle. The eagle's wings are spread and its talons are visible at the base. A circular Latin legend in uncial script surrounds the beaded border, reading the abbreviated imperial titulature of Frederick III. The overall design is characteristic of late medieval Habsburg coinage, struck by hand with characteristic irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | Two overlapping cross pattée forms arranged in a shifted, offset pattern at center, the larger of which extends to and divides the beaded inner circle, with its arms reaching into the legend. The crosses are rendered in the bold, flat style typical of late 15th-century Austrian hammered coinage. A circular Latin legend in uncial script surrounds the composition, incorporating the mint city name and the date of issue. The design is enclosed within a beaded circle set against an unadorned field. |
