| Obverse description | Central field depicts a rampant lion facing left, rendered in a bold Gothic style characteristic of late 13th-century Central European coinage. The lion is contained within a beaded inner circle, with the peripheral legend reading + ALBERTUS COMES in Gothic script, identifying Count Albert I of Görz as the issuing authority. The strike is irregular, consistent with hammered medieval technique, and the overall relief is moderately high. The field surrounding the lion shows typical flatness and flan irregularities expected of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central design features a large six-petalled rosette with a central pellet, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The petals are rendered with rounded lobes in a symmetrical arrangement, filling the inner field with an elegant floral motif common to medieval Austrian deniers. The surrounding legend GORICIA DE LUONZ is inscribed in Gothic Latin script, referencing the County of Görz (Gorizia) and the mint town of Lienz. The flan is irregular and the strike shows typical characteristics of hand-hammered medieval silver coinage. |
