| Obverse description | An eagle displayed in flight, oriented to the right, rendered in a bold, schematic style characteristic of medieval Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage. The bird's wings are spread and the body is depicted in low relief against a plain field. The design is contained within a roughly circular flan with no surrounding legend or border inscription. The die-work reflects the hand-cut artisanal technique typical of mid-13th century Viennese mint production under Ottokar II. |

| Reverse description | A multi-pointed star or rosette motif set within a circular ring of stylized leaves or pellets, creating a decorative annular border around the central device. The star is rendered in low relief with radiating points, consistent with the heraldic vocabulary of 13th-century Austrian pfennig coinage. The overall composition is symmetrical and fills the compact flan, with no accompanying legend. The design is characteristic of the CNA B 171 type attributed to the reign of Ottokar II in the Duchy of Austria. |
