| Obverse description | Two facing busts shown side by side, separated by a stylized palm tree rising between them; the composition is surmounted by an architectural wall motif rendered in low relief. The busts, depicted in a Romanesque provincial style typical of 13th-century Austrian bracteate-related coinage, are rendered with schematic facial features and broad shoulders. The overall design occupies the full coin field within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A lion passant to the left, rendered in a bold Romanesque style, grasping an upright cross in its forepaws. The figure fills the coin field, with the lion's mane and body details executed in characteristic 13th-century hammered relief. A partial circular legend reading LANDSTROSN appears around the design within a beaded border. |
