| Obverse description | Hammered silver denier depicting a mounted knight in profile facing right, shown in a stylized equestrian pose within a beaded inner circle. The rider, representing Duke Bernard II of Carinthia, is rendered in a flat, archaic medieval style typical of 13th-century Austrian coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading +BERNNARDVSDVS, identifying the issuing duke. The field shows the characteristic irregular flan and die-struck relief of the hammered technique. |

| Reverse description | Hammered silver denier featuring a stylized crowned gateway or city gate motif in the center, likely representing the town of Laibach (modern Ljubljana), set within a beaded inner circle. The architectural device displays a crenellated tower or gate with arched openings beneath, rendered in the flat, linear style characteristic of 13th-century Central European bracteate-influenced coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central motif reading +LEIBACENSESDE, identifying the mint city of Laibach. The irregular flan and variable strike are consistent with hammered medieval coinage of the Duchy of Carinthia. |
