| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a quartered heraldic shield bearing the arms of Austria and Styria — the Austrian fess (horizontal bar) appearing in one half and the Styrian panther in the other — all within a plain bordure. The date, partially legible as a four-digit year (1515–1518), is struck above the shield in the upper field. The coin exhibits the characteristically crude, slightly off-centre strike typical of hammered billon pfennigs produced at the Sankt Veit an der Glan mint under Maximilian I. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is essentially blank, showing only a flat, heavily worn and featureless field with faint incuse impressions transferred from the obverse die during striking, as is common on uniface or near-uniface hammered pfennigs of this period. No legend, device, or mintmark is discernible. The irregular flan edge and rough surface are consistent with the artisanal production methods employed at the Sankt Veit an der Glan mint in the early sixteenth century. |
