| Obverse description | Bracteate type struck on a thin, irregularly shaped silver flan. The central device depicts a stylized heraldic motif described as a clasp or fibula with leaf-like terminal ends, rendered in high relief characteristic of the bracteate technique. The design is executed in a schematic, late-medieval style with minimal supplementary ornament and no legend in the field. |

| Reverse description | Incuse mirror-image impression of the obverse, as is standard for bracteate coinage struck on a single die. The reverse shows the characteristic concave relief of the eagle motif — a heraldic eagle rendered in a schematic, angular style typical of late-medieval Austrian bracteate pfennigs from the Friesach mint. The flan edges are irregular, consistent with hand-cut hammered production of the period. |
