| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver sheet, displaying an eagle in left profile with head dramatically turned back over the body, wings displayed open. The bird is rendered in bold relief typical of Austrian bracteate coinage of the mid-13th century, with schematized feather detailing visible on the wings. The design is contained within a raised linear border accompanied by a beaded or bulge circle, framing the heraldic eagle device against a concave field. The irregular flan edge, characteristic of hammered bracteate production, is clearly visible around the circumference. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | Uniface (bracteate): the reverse presents the incuse mirror impression of the obverse eagle design, as is standard for bracteate coinage produced by striking a single die into a thin silver flan. The surface is concave with no intentional design, legend, or devices; the incuse relief corresponds directly to the raised elements visible on the obverse. |
