| Obverse description | A stylized frontal head occupies the central field, surmounted by a prominent lily motif above. Flanking the head on either side is a sword rendered in low relief, the two blades extending vertically to frame the central design. Below the head, a heraldic panther or similar device is visible in the lower field. The overall composition is characteristic of Styrian bracteate-style pfennig coinage of the early fourteenth century, with bold, somewhat abstracted figural elements typical of hammered Austrian provincial issues. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is uniface and bears no design, the smooth blank surface resulting from the single-die hammered striking technique characteristic of this type of medieval Austrian pfennig. |
