| Obverse description | Central depiction of a manus Dei (Hand of God) descending from above, rendered in stylized medieval fashion. The field is populated by multiple rosettes or star-like ornaments arranged symmetrically around the central motif. The design is contained within a plain inner circle, characteristic of 12th-century Salzburg bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage. No legend present; the composition relies entirely on symbolic imagery. |

| Reverse description | Three church towers depicted in a row above a rounded arch or vault, rendered in the schematic Romanesque architectural style typical of late 12th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. The central tower is the tallest and is surmounted by a cross or finial, while the flanking towers are of lesser height, each also topped with decorative elements. The arcade beneath the towers is supported by columns, evoking the facade of a cathedral or collegiate church, likely referencing the Salzburg cathedral. The design fills the irregularly shaped flan with no surrounding legend. |
