| Obverse description | Two rampant lions flanking a central Austrian shield, rendered in the bold, flat relief characteristic of medieval hammered coinage. The shield is depicted in the typical pointed form of the period, with the horizontal bar of the Austrian fess clearly visible. The lions face inward toward the shield, their crowns and forepaws raised, framing the composition symmetrically within the irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | A stylized facing bust of Duke Ottokar II enclosed within a beaded inner circle, executed in the crude but expressive manner typical of 13th-century Austrian bracteate-related pfennigs. The bust is depicted frontally, wearing a crown or ducal headgear, with facial features rendered in low relief. A Latin legend surrounds the inner circle, reading the duke's title and name. |
