| Obverse description | An eagle displayed facing right, rendered in a bold, stylized medieval manner, with spread wings and prominent feather detail. The Austrian escutcheon — bearing the characteristic horizontal bar — is depicted on the bird's wing. The design occupies the full flan, with no legend or inscription, characteristic of the anonymous Viennese pfennig coinage of the mid-14th century. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, as typical of hammered bracteate-influenced issues of the period. |

| Reverse description | Bust of Christ (the Savior) facing front, depicted in a hieratic Byzantine-influenced style, with a nimbus surrounding the head. The image is weakly struck and partially obscured due to the thin, irregularly shaped hammered flan, rendering fine detail difficult to discern. No legend or inscription accompanies the design. This reverse type is consistent with the Viennese pfennig coinage attributed to Duke Albrecht II, as catalogued under CNA B 234. |
